New Trend of Evil in Skateboarding?

[WWSD?]

Hey guys I just found this article on how skateboard companies are making a killing off selling "Satanic" graphics. Is this good for Satanism, or just kind of selling it short. I think the latter: Check it Out. (http://www.inasectv.com/blog_new.php?id=841&cat=ALL_SPORTS&name=)

-from the link; this blog IS NOT meant to discredit Jamie Thomas, or any other God loving skateboarder. It IS meant to introduce the increasing trend of individuals in skateboarding who take their “taboo” ideas and express them. Skateboarding was founded on a principle of being unique and creative. Let’s not lose this to the countless brainwashed, following souls.

The famous Existentialist philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said it best: “The Last Christian Died on the Cross.” Now pick up your board and go skate, you are NOT going to heaven when you die. Every day is your last.I watched the clip and did NOT find one iota of a reference to Satanism (that stupid upside down cross means nothing).

Companies will use whatever works and is within the law, to sell its products.
Maybe I missed something and you could point it out to me?

Probably just an attempt to make stuff that looks somehow more radical.

I myself ride on a pair of K2 Frontman, they're big and black and have skulls on the frame, like so (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3407/3246170351_a58e9724ae_b.jpg). I've always liked the look, chances are if there were several different models I'd still have picked the skulls one. And really I'm not into evil, Satan or anything like that.

I think the day they start selling em with family-oriented Christian designs is the day we can start to worry, but not before :)
