No, I’m not talking about my new cologne. I’m talking about this image, which I posted on the Hellbound? Facebook page today:

So far it’s generated 41 likes, 25 shares and a whole lotta traffic. However, it also prompted some less than enthusiastic responses, with at least one person writing to say it was “incredibly wrong” of me to post it.
