Re: Looking GNOME brochures

[Sriram Ramkrishna <sri aracnet com>]

I don't think we want to go down this path.  There are probably so
many innuendos for gay or anything else that it's not possible to
catch everything.  This reminds me when The Doors were going play
"Come on Baby Light My Fire" and they didn't want them to say "fire"
because it would remind them of the Devil.

Anyways..
If an english speaking person translates happy == gay.
They've got other problems.
