For comparison:

Most of them, maybe all, simply didn’t know, I guess.

KISS logo: Frehley created the now-iconic logo, making the "SS" look like lightning bolts, when he went to write the new band name over Wicked Lester on a poster outside the club where they were going to play.[20] The runic letters happened to look similar to the insignia of the Nazi SS, a symbol that is now illegal to display in Germany. Therefore, to avoid controversy, since 1979 most of the band's album covers and merchandise in Germany have used a modified version of the logo instead, with the SS represented by two backwards Zs.

If only it did!

That KISS font is easy to find - and that would have made a good explanation. But the KISS “S” is much thinner in the horizontal element.

OMG! You mean I have been a fan of a Nazi loving rock-band for 25+ years? OMG! Why didn't the news tell me this? Why am I just finding out about this?

Now that I think about it, we should change all words which have two consecutive "S" letters in them to avoid such idolatry of such a hated group!

The stupidity in this is really OVER THE TOP! If it were the actual "SS" logo in red and black, inside a circle, etc... I could understand the outrage! But, this white on blue double "S" is NOT the Nazi symbol - it is TWO FREAKING "S" LETTERS NEXT TO EACH OTHER!

The only reason the o§ama commie thought police didn't go after the auto industry or "KI§§" is because they were looked upon as a business.

We'll gue§§ what kiddies, we trained §niper §couts to be in the kill business,

Human history is replete with the adaptation/adoption of cultural/military symbolism. If it pleases §niper §couts to make use of symbol akin to that used by Germany, so be it. As far as I know, Israel doesn't have an existing copyright on this §ymbol.

Leave the poor bastards alone, and let them do what they do best. KILL.
