      <description><![CDATA[<p>
As a new meme was launched at this year's <a href="http://www.zendcon.com">Zend/PHP Conference & Expo</a> and, while it's not directly related to PHP, it was still very warmly accepted by the community - <i>Christian Flickinger</i>'s "Fails" logos (<a href="http://spooons.etsy.com/">see here</a>). He's <a href="http://www.nexdot.net/blog/2008/09/15/ruby-on-fails-story-and-stickers/">written up a post</a> about it for his blog too:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
So, a week before PHP|TEK 2008 I came up with the genius idea to take the Ruby on Rails logo, which is protected against re-use (hahaha), and parody it. I wanted to express my views of Ruby on Rails (though never have using RoR) through this modification.
</p>
<p>
I took the logo and simply changed the "R" to an "F" using a font that was almost identical to the original.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
You can ask anyone that was at ZendCon this year about them - they were everywhere. <i>Christian</i> did a great job on a simple parody that shares the sentiment of many members of the PHP community (and others outside I'm sure). He has them for sale on his <a href="http://spooons.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> if you'd like to pick up some of your own.
