Haha, never thought about the Nokia hands in that sense. Always looked like a "human touch". But just goes to show in changing times how the "human touch" can get re-interpreted.
That caption did give me a good laugh.

Yes, but you were the first to distill the nebulous "NOKIA=pedobear" concept into a specific form; while I'm no good at such creative work, I'm quite happy to spend 15 minutes implementing it. Just wanted to give credit for the plan where it's due.

Not only a specific form, but a plan, a concept and scenario!

Thanks Benson. Now any chance of me getting hired by Nokia has just been lost.

"Oh, you're the guy who said we're a bunch of pedophiles, eh? Get lost!"

<slam!>

"Now, Teemu and Joona, back to our vodka!"

lol. Great desktop. My problem is, I'd likely get my NIT inspected by the wrong person at the wrong time and get arrested for just having that as my desktop. ^_^;;

See?

Yet you seem to take glee in making the photo more explicit by adding verbiage to the photo...finding humor in paedophilia speaks volumes as to an individual's character.

What language does it speak?

I found it humorous... does that make me into something?

I also like chicken jokes... does that make me a farmer or suttin'?

Question:
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Answer:
To get to the candy I keep in my van. :)

As a father myself, I find no humour in paedophilia. That wasn't the source of humour here.

I'm sorry that my sense of humour offended you.
Please refrain from making personal attacks.

You don't have to agree with the point or related reality of a joke to laugh at it. It saddens me people require a pub or alcohol to become happy or get laid yet I laughed at "Vodka - Connecting People".

Perhaps you should throw a chair through the room next time ;)

BTW I noticed on my S60 phone the picture is animated and forms the hands become bonded. Yet, the backlight is very low during boot. This saves battery power. Ironically, the N8x0 don't do this.
