    Indeed, Aaman, while it's all a matter of perspective, the title here doesn't seem to match the tone of the linked article.

    Dear Ian,
    Please sue the pants off these corporate profiteers, for attempting to hijack this blessed imagery. It is as offensive as McDonalds using the very cross upon which Jesus was crucified to sell McRibs! Please take them to the bank, as I know you will use all proceeds to fund skronky guitar bands, soup kitchens, animal shelters, and other good stuff.

    Yours in Metal,
    Bricklayer

    Good to see nuclear fusion power research moving forward, even if it's only a tiny increment forward at this time.
