I need to get myself a plane ticket to Chicago, because I have problems with NATO. Big, big problems. And I won’t stop until my voice is heard on this matter of vital importance to the future of the world:
Yeah. Listen up, America. No longer will we be enslaved by the yoke of oppression! No longer will I tolerate making PNG symbols in Photoshop using your PDF document as a reference!
In related news, the temptation to include this as an Easter Egg in the next version of my software is pretty strong:
Jokes requiring knowledge of NATO warfighting symbology and 1980s German pop music? Oh yes, we’re an equal opportunities blog. Absolutely nobody has the opportunity to find it funny.

Do it!
