He wears his watermelon socks at work, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had watermelon pins. I would argue that the ban of watermelon imagery should be explained and it is definitely not clear for the general population. I just learned about this symbolism today, and I'm usually more aware than the average person. permalink fedilink source parent
