For the first time since I joined, I got a real idea for one Since the USA still allows small Class 0 appliances (toasters, rice cookers, even kettles if they have a plastic case) I figured double-insulating myself from them is an appropriate analogy; sure they have constitutionally protected free speech (which we don't in Australia) but so much else about 'Murican culture is so deeply screwed-up that for my sanity, I have to reject American media by default (exceptions evaluated case‑by‑case, not that I have many).
As usual I designed it in Inkscape, but exporting at the final resolution gave a rather uneven appearance on the stars; so I had to export at 8× scale and then downscale in GIMP, but then replace the double-square symbol and smiley (which got blurry from downscaling) with those from the initial 1× export.
UPDATE: Added a lightning bolt to make the meaning clearer.
