CIA Toastbusters Logo: Who You Gonna Call?

As a progressive graphic artist I looked forward to satirizing this logo, but came up with zilch. I thought about a Charlton Heston ‘cold dead hands' angle; a napalmed Michelin Man; a banned minstrel; a white supremacist tattoo; a Christo-Fascism Awareness Week ad; a campaign to rescue the missing AK-47's. Nothing seemed to click.

So, in desperation, I went to the CIA site but grew so intrigued with their creepy mission statements and even creepier Kids' Page that their nazi-colored logo slipped into comparative insignificance. In the career section they have an opening for a graphic artist. If I thought for one minute that I could pass the requisite polygraph, background and piss tests I swear I would apply, if only in the interests of aesthetics.

A self-parody defies ridicule and makes my job just that much more difficult. The only conclusion to logically arrive at is that it must be deliberately of such egregious quality and concept that suicide bombers would see it and preemptively laugh themselves to death.
