Wow im actually ashamed of you guys. I can understand some teenage douches thinking its cool to not give a fuck and do as they like, but I see some (who I thought to be) pretty decent guys not only laughing this off as if it were nothing, but actually defending it. I like to think I have a pretty broad sense of humor, I like to laugh and I appreciate all different kinds of jokes. Yet on no level do I find this matter, or peoples reaction to it, a laughing one. Does this mean that if i can come up with some obscure reason and/or fact i can create a banner with a picture of Pinochet, or bin Laden, or Saddam, or why not make it a copy of al-Qaeda flag? Obviously the answer is no (or at least I hope it is 'no'). Some lines do not get crossed even on the internet.
cute puppies on their own do not offend anyone, but I can see no clear reason why someone would use a banner like that. There are thousands other indian symbols, yet that person chose that particular one. This is not a good looking banner, its not funny, therefore the point of it must be to provoke people. The person who started that clan knew some people would object to that banner and chose to go with it anyway. We all know that the cute puppy is an indian symbol, but lets face it, 99% of the people associate it with YMCA. So why would someone want all those people to think you have anything to do with chocolate chip cookies is beyond me.
To me this just shows your lack of respect, consideration and understanding for other people. Just because you dont give a fuck doesnt meant everyone else does, that alone should make you do the decent thing.
