    100% agreed.

    I call it the “first thing you see” principle.

    When you’re driving on a dark road at night and see something with antlers, you think deer. You see a grenade-looking thing with comp b printed on it in military-style lettering, font, and color, well, that just fucking screams grenade, and the dumbasses who thought this was a good idea should be made to pay for the response.

      “When you’re driving on a dark road at night and see something with antlers, you think deer.”

      Except if you stop and get out to have a better look you realise it’s standing on two legs, has massive taloned claw hands, huge black eyes that reflect nothing, and a weird shiny red skin that looks like it’s been flayed.

      But you know, by then it’s too late to get back in the car.
