Funny or offensive?

[chromesphere]

Hey guys, was just messing around with the idea of getting a short run of stickers made up to include with future orders, just a bit of fun.
But im concerned perhaps my special brand of humor may come across as offensive?  The idea is, you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to build a pedal but perhaps it comes across more like, you NEED to be a genius to build a pedal.  Or maybe im reading too much into it and no one could possible take this cartoon seriously...?  I guess I just feel like it sort of summarises who we are..?
What do you think?

Doesn't offend me any! It reminds me of the old "this is your brain..." PSAs.

Thanks guys.  Or maybe I should replace the image of the brain with a cardtable? lol

Or a vial capturing the drops from a crying unicorn's eye

Paul do you know the This is your brain PSA's? They were an integral part of the US's (failed) War on Drugs in the 80's. I dunno if they made it over to Oz.

Clearly you need to make 2 stickers

I don't think it's offensive, but I get where you're coming from.  Maybe you could use a light bulb instead of a brain = ideas/inspiration?

You should replace the pedal graphic with a guy banging his head into a desk, wondering why it isn't working!

I would do:  a soldering iron + burned fingers = pedal.

Or in my case a burned scrotum. But that might be just a tad offensive

I like the bulb+iron=pedal idea....

Got a cart ready in your shop for a while, just need to pull the trigger, might wait for the stickers.

Bulb is as good as brain and wouldn't make the brainless people feel bad.

I kinda felt bad, but didn't know why.   

[chromesphere]

haha!  some funny responses thanks guys

Clay, our government takes a different approach.  They would probably do something like...find a heroin addict in the street and preform a live autopsy.  They don't mess around with graphic content when it comes to shepparding the masses, eg:

Living in Australia, sometimes I feel like I'm in a real life clockwork orange :| :| :|  Maybe I should put her face + soldering iron = pedal?  I have mouth cancer because I don't wash my hands after soldering?

Hey I like the lightblub idea!  I'll give that one a crack (when I get a moment )

Im not sure why she has such a strong accent...sounds like she's from madmax or something (overdone aussie accent "I know someone that can drive that tanker")

Maybe it's the missing teeth and trying to enunciate?
