FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-daemon-rocks dept.

An anonymous reader submits "The FreeBSD core team has announced a public competition to design a new logo to replace the current BSD daemon logo. The new logo will be used on the FreeBSD website, software media labels, printed media, hardware equipment, and more. The winner of the contest will receive $500." It's too early for an April Fool's Joke; according to the contest page, "this daemon character seems cute from somebody's point of view, but somebody may think which does not suit for the professional products to indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside."

    It makes me sad that people still allow such ridiculous superstitions to have such an effect in their lives.

    I ocassionally get fed up with it. I sneeze quite often, and there's *always* someone around who says, "Blesh you."

    Someday I'm just going to snap.

    "WHAT THE FUCK DOES BLESH MEAN? DO YOU MEAN *BLESS*? WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BLESS ME? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF A PRIEST? YOU DO REALIZE I'M AN ATHIEST, RIGHT? YOUR BLESSING JUST MAKES ME LAUGH AT YOU AS A FOLLOWER OF A PARTICULARLY POPULAR AND SILLY CULT."

    For crying out loud. Why would you "blesh" someone when they sneeze? Are these the same people who are afraid of shadows, rap music, and walking under ladders?

    Life with superstition has got to suck.

    Why is FreeBSD listening to a bunch of vocal morons? These nuts think everything from Proctor & Gamble to Apple Computer have satanic logos. (And I believe this site is the real deal, not a hoax). This is nothing but the Political Corectness of the right. Why is anyone listening to these fanatics?

    He won because sensible people are frightened of hyper-politically-correct leftists who are the reason FreeBSD is changing its logo in the first place.

    It's amazing how everything can be blamed on Bush. It's like saying it's the Devil's fault. Heh, I think that's ironic or something.
