Seeing the photograph above reminds me that no matter how strange it is, it's better than what used to happen in India a while ago, and how the Election Commission there changed the elections mandate in the 1990's accordingly. The body took a call on animals and birds in 1990 after petitioners complained that parties were using dead parrots and doves on a string during their campaigns. Another candidate, knowing the power symbols, decided to put the Facebook logo side by side with his official elections symbol.
