Fired? Really? Wow, I guess the Apple fantards have no sense of humour. Must come from having the 'genius' at the Apple store out-smug them!
Do you have to make it personal and insult your opponents? EDIT: I cannot conceive a possible reason why this comment is down-voted. Penalizing well meaning and polite discourse is counter intuitive... in the universe I live.

They're very common in Belgium (Western Europe) as well, though most people who use them have no idea of the origin. They just thinks it looks rebellious. I find those stickers extremely annoying, since they conflict with how I know and love the Calvin character.

Just for fun speculation. What if someone realized that Google is scraping/using his data. Then he decided to put in a "honeytoken" to check this assumption and at the same time pull a prank on Google. Once he realized that his assumption was correct, he published the coordinates -- as a mini revenge. Of course this is just some idle speculation, but I have seen honeytoken entries in printed dictionaries for example.
But if that were the case, wouldn't they be pissing on Google's logo instead?
Nope hn isn't being gamed by trolls at all.

"Even though edits are moderated, occasionally the odd inaccurate or cheeky edit may slip through our system," he said in a statement to Mashable. "We've been made aware of the issue and are working on getting it removed.""
Immature. Unprofessional.
