1. Originally, I was going to say "thank you"

until I saw the photo which came with your posting.

2. I'm sorry but that's actually kind of funny...

4. Life imitates art.

Specifically, in this case, life imitates Full Metal Jacket...

Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.

If you start making people do sick things, sooner or later they will be all to happy to oblige you.

7. I'm reminded of that shirt the fat guy wore in Titanic

Of the smiley face with a bullet through its forehead.
