I am absolutely disgusted by Sinn Feinn's t-shirts. I could go on about 
this for hours, but in the interests of keeping this e-mail 
non-political, I won't.

I can't view the logo either, and if it was anything similar to the Sinn 
Fein t-shirt then the fact I can't view it is a good thing.

We should be using YAPC::Europe 2004 in Belfast to emphasise the 
positive aspects of Northern Ireland, and take care to use non-political 
and neutral symbols (e.g. flax plant as on the 1991 pound coin) on 
t-shirts and other promotional material. Northern Ireland has a lot 
going for it, and there's no reason to focus on the negative aspects of 
our country. I really wish people wouldn't even jokingly suggest 
balaclavas, petrol bombs or anything like that for the t-shirt: it's not 
funny, and why on earth would you want to put that on a t-shirt?
