Please don’t hurt the web
I really like this recent Mozilla poster:
(As far as I know) it first came up as a concept (see below) at the Firefox on-site meeting in Mountain View in November 2006, and because it’s pretty irresistibly cute, we really couldn’t let it catch dust in a drawer 
Fligtar caught the presentation slide at the Firefox summit:
Good job, Dave and the rest of the marketing team!
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the cat in the Shrek movie.
Really cute. Just found a new desktop wallpaper
Hello Fred, Jose and Jean-Pierre,
I disagree with the use of the image in correspondence with the message being conveyed.
1- Web standards is about software interoperability (across devices, platforms, os-es, browser versions and vendors, etc), universal accessibility and overall good (more efficient) coding practices, even better business. It’s a technical approach in a technological/programmatical environment.
2- Web standards adoption has nothing to do with animal mistreatment, with senseless cruelty toward animals, with disappearing of species happening every single day on this planet. Web standards adoption has nothing to do with an animal trembling of fear and crying.
3- Web standards adoption has nothing to do with melting ice at the north pole of this planet (like we can see on the image), therefore seriously endangering the survival of several animal/wildlife species. Just examine on what is sitting the fox in the image.
4- Web standards adoption has nothing to do with the Firefox browser or any other particular browser. In fact, web standards adoption is about browser-independence approach to begin with.
5- Web standards adoption should not be promoted by an image that has per se nothing to do with web standards coding practices. And animal protection, anti-cruelty and bio-diversity organizations should not use browser interface images to do their promotions.
The number 1 problem with the image is misusing the sentiment (sensitivity) created by a particular problem (animal cruelty, mistreatment) transferred to a very technical and technological issue. In the process, both issues are confused, misunderstood and badly addressed.
Many months ago, while searching for new ways to promote Firefox as a browser, I have seen on the web several images of red foxes being abused, destroyed, mutilated – yes, that’s right, mutilated –, senselessly killed for the “sport” of it on the web. If you really care about a sane, level-headed balance between wildlife, bio-diversity, species survival, ecological sustainability between humans and other animal life, then you will leave such image for pro-animal groups and consider a clearly different approach to promoting web standards in webpages.
I took assignment of bug 74952 for over 18 months. I am currently assigned to bug 151557.

P.S.: Promoting Firefox as a browser should never be using images “selling” sex either (like a half naked and very young fox-woman hybrid or a very young woman dressed as a fox, embrasing the globe). That is also a grave judgment mistake.
It’s (people) like you that are killing the web. WTF does a cute little cartoon fox have to do with anything you’re talking about. If you want to point out the fact that people are killing red foxes for images to promote web standards. That’s a few crazy people taking extreme measures and they should be locked up.
(People) these days are so eager to jump to conclusions and take things out of context. And in doing so, not only do they drag the web down but the whole world too.

I totally agree with Angry guy.The cute little fox cartoon is soo cute and what you are talking about is so different than the subject being discussed here.I think that you are a person with problems and you lost your emotions.
