I find the equating of Beastie to a religious symbol, which is what provoked this stupid logo contest thing, infinitely more offensive. And I suspect the majority of people are of the same mind. Quite obviously, the boot-lickers of the conservative right don't understand this - my choice of language was intended to knock some sense in to them. I hope, for their sake, that they are offended. Greatly. If so then they might possibly have an idea of how offensive this entire Beastie=the devil thing is to those of us with normally functioning brains. I am surprised you didn't grasp the meaning in my message immediately, you at least are a writer and should understand manipulation. We certainly have had enough of it from the conservative apologists that spawned this new FreeBSD sex-toy logo.
