What's with the Prince symbol in Iraq??

At least in the war-torn country of Iraq, there is a symbol of hope and peace still being graffitied on bullet-ridded doors:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/W...index.html

It would be cool if people worldwide would start tagging the symbol everywhere. Just like that "Andre the Giant has a posse" thing...

I'll be damned. Please tell me Prince didn't send this poor kid a cease and desist.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I was trying to look it up, to see what was with that but couldn't find anything.
Was wondering if it had anything to do with house searching or symbolizing that
no dead bodies were found in that particular house, or if it's a sign they residents
place on their home for either their religious beliefs or as a sign to signify
to the soldiers that they're friendly, and not Al Queda.

Uh, oh, I might just have made this thread movable...

Or maybe the family in the house think that Purple Rain is the greatest album of all time?

I don't necessarily believe the symbol is there in Iraq...It could be...
If anyone was exposed to the understanding of Prince's love in his music...Maybe they would stop fighting...A Prince symbol anywhere that people understand...can only be a good thing.
What the world needs now, is sharing. Share the pain of the past, and share the responsibility of a rebuilt future as one family in a safe home.

You think it was photoshopped? Maybe it was some prankster at the CNN headquarters. That would be funny.

Two things they need in Iraq are Prince and strip clubs. Think about it - They'd have the insiring music of Prince and everyone knows that at a strip club no one is thinking about religious wackiness, they're thinking about the poonanny.

Photoshopped? Hardly. It's just some symbol that the U.S. military uses that HAPPENS to resemble the love symbol...with a line going through it...

Better than listening to the violence outside their doors.

Those chicks over there would have to strip to "Billy's Sunglasses" 'cause they have so much covered up.
