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.
