Oh boy, that open palm icon will definitely steer many Greek site visitors away (it's almost the equivalent of the middle finger in Greek culture).

- jspash 8y agoBut just think of hordes of Thanksgiving loving American schoolchildren that it will attract. Sorry, but that's the first thing that came to my mind. But seriously, I do understand the need to be culturally sensitive and aware these days since people tend to forget that the internet is global. Is there some kind of database containing these kind of cross-culture transgressions? Somewhere you can go to either a) find out if your target market has any hangups about a certain colour, shape or words and b) submit it for peer review for the same purpose. I'm thinking something like Urban Dictionary but for business.
