<FireFly_9> I don't believe this...

<FireFly_9> Apparently, for quite some time now, the number 88 has been used as a code word for white supremacy groups... and products bearing the "88" code in conjunction with rather disturbing imagery has apparently made its way into mainstream commercial distribution.
<--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> f[BLEEP]ers...
<FireFly_9> While the articles in question have since been removed, it forces me to wonder what other subtle imagery might be deployed elsewhere even now.
<--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Man I feel sorry for kids who bought this [BLEEP] not even knowing what it means
<// J_Daito //> But wait, how does "88" even mean anything?
<GERMATOID> "8" IS THE NUMERICAL COMPLEMENT TO THE EIGHT LETTER OF THE ENGLISH ALPHABET, "H". ERGO, "88" = "HH", A CONTRACTION FOR "HEIL HITLER".
<// J_Daito //> Clever little s[BLEEP]ts.
<--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Man they soil everything they touch...
<FireFly_9> Wonderful... and it used to be all one had to worry about were the Freemasons sticking their symbols into everything.
