Predictably enough, they were offended by it and decided to talk to the laptop's owner. When Annina and Karen offered to make him a new sticker to stand in for (or augment) the old one, he accepted. I really like what they came up with.

It's a productive form of commentary and critique visible to everyone who sees it.
