Well, if you can live blatantly demonic/satanic imagery - pentagrams, skulls with horns, twitching impaled corpses, throbbing hearts on pedestals, piles of heads, suspended corpses, impaled/crucified people, I think you can live with a single swastika. The Nazis - although natty dressers - weren't a terribly nice lot. But id obviously isn't too worried about censorship - in any form. Take it or leave it, I guess. Roddi
