How about a penguin smoking a big fat joint with fully bloodshot eyes? :)
But at the end of the day, its just a bootlogo.. By default, it should be
as neutral and least offensive as possible to the good majority of people.
Obviously you can't please everyone, and lots of people lack a sense of
humour. Besides, this thread is getting old.. I have personally never
seen the beer drinking logo, only because its a highly experimental
feature of a development kernel, and surely not going to be the "default"
behaviour.

Cheers,

Dave.
