Designer Jeans and an Upside Down Cross

This one made me chuckle:

A punk-rock style, trendy tight fit and affordable price have made Cheap Monday jeans a hot commodity among young Swedes, but what has people talking is the brand’s ungodly logo: a skull with a cross turned upside down on its forehead.

   I’m a Christian too. At first I didn’t notice the cross and I thought it was part of the detail of the skull, but once you notice it’s an upside down Cross, you can’t ignore it. It looks pretty blatant.

    I’m not Christian and the logo really doesn’t bother me (obviously), but it is a bit cheesy for my tastes.

    Imagine the uproar if they used the crescent moon and star of Islam.
