The product is called "Sig Heil!". It's a program that makes your sig vary randomly from an assortment of different quotes.

I don't even know what to think of this guy. Laugh or worry.

Now, the PRODUCT is good. Random sig chooser. Always wanted one of those.

But the name? No. Just no.

Do any of you know what it means?
If not kindly shut up and stop knee-jerking.

Well, Sieg Heil meant "Hail Victory!" but I would guessin this case it would be "Hail Sigs!".

Agreed. I await to see even more uninformed, reactionary responses.

Sieg Heil = Hail to Victory. Wow, very evil. :rolleyes: Sig Heil...well, work it out.

Sieg Heil = Hail victory
Sig Heil = Hail siggy!

I like the name :D

Ok, now explain to me why he cant name his product Hail Sig's.
Hail-Victory sure but whats wrong with that too?

Sayyy a british leader was a nazi and said hail-victory?
Do you think that would stop us saying it?
NO.

Come on now. Despite it's meaning it's gained an unsavory connotation since the nazis.

Not excuse enough. The words predated the Nazis by aeons.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. :)

As did there Nazi sign, they just turned it backwards.
A cookie to the guy who knows what the Nazi sign actually means and can tell me its real name.

I think you're blowing it all out of proportion. Its actually a pretty clever name if you ask me.

Not that I'm a nazi, but you know what I mean. I say leave the guy alone.

victory welfare?

:confused:

Yeah, Google language tools do that...

on a completely other matter, aeons...I've heard that word before...somewhere...

Well...technically it was like good luck or something sappy...name started with an M, and they tilted it 45 degrees, while flipped over, it was like the oppisite...started with an S I think? Not sure...

From what I can find, Svastika means lucky charm and it is Sanskrit.

What fucked up asshole logic made the nazis take a GOOD luck charm and place it on their flag BACKWARDS?

My guess is that they linked the ancient Indian culture to Aryanism. They theorised I think that the race had moved between India and Europe. Therefore, they saw it as a symbol of the "Aryan race".

From Mein Kampf:
In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic.

Yup.

IIRC the orientation of the symbol actually had little significance in its original form, and so they weren't actually useing the inverse of a good luck symbol, just it's lesser used form.


EDIT: FWIW, Wikipedia seems to agree with me obn this one.
