I, for one was glad when those (and previous redneck jokes)

Thus I'll caution that creating this kind of image train is awfully
hard to do properly for an international audience, and anything good
enough for US folks but not for the rest of the world will be doing
the non-US Fedora contributors a terrible injustice.
As a non-American I think I can say that this fear of being too
much labelled as an American distribution is totally silly. Red
Hat is "Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor" and we
cannot avoid it. And Fedora is linked inseparably to Red Hat. Of
course, we have keep for the real independency of Fedora project
from Red Hat, etc., but to pretend too strongly against the image
of this link is IMHO pretty silly.
