Re: Cultural Issue with the Foot Logo

Andre,

You're 100% right about using the sign made by Am here in Brazil. I think using this proposed sign would avoid the use of GNOME because of it's sexual appealing.
Just to register: Here, when somebody disagree with other, he/she shows the Okay sign, when they have some kind of friendship or shows the sign followed by a 'river' of bad words when they aren't friends. Or vice-versa. This is commonly used by uneducated people or incult one.

It can be quite offensive in Brazil (Mexico and Paraguay were also
mentioned in one article I've found, don't know).
