I'm not 100% certain this belongs here; if a mod makes a decision to its proper location, can they please remove this notice afterwards.

I was really unsure about putting this in here, since I'm not keen on dealing with the shit that will ultimately appear. But, in the hopes of a civil discussion, I shall post it nonetheless.

For the sake of transparency, I have seen the decal in question. Obviously I'm not linking it here. It is CP by Canadian definitions, though.

Extinguishing the Flame is available on Amazon and supports Australian Bush fire relief.

Not according to the RCMP:

Alberta RCMP told media on Friday an investigation concluded the decal "does not meet the elements of child pornography. Nor does the decal depict a non-consensual act that would be a direct threat to the person."

I think the whole thing is disturbing.  The owner is a perv, “X-Site”?  Not that there is anything wrong with that.  The guy is like Trump.  He knows his audience (and customers) are not environmentalist, so he pulls out the stops and says what no one else has the balls (or intelligence) to say.

The Canadian government has already rebuked the sticker, and I can’t say it will do anything to help the industry’s image.

The world is moving away from hydrocarbons, so why shoot yourself in the foot?  Because you are frustrated.
