Lutzmorder--it is only one letter removed from the more common German noun, Lustmorden, or sex-murder. It this case the motivator is not Lust (sexual desire) but rage at the GM bigwig and CEO, Herr Lutz, who has called any concern for environmental matters "a crock of shit." He's on the Drudge report again today.
So often such people leave those who hate them in a state of helpless rage, but with Lutz green activists need not feel helpless. They can act against GM until GM decides to can Lutz--without the customary golden parachute. You can make your anger felt by "keying" any GM product with that simple, expressive word LUTZ. Of course, that might be construed as vandalism if undertaken other than as a thought experiment. So I would urge you only to think the thought--and share it with any Goth or punk teenagers you know.
The only problem I can see, in a practical way, is that U in LUTZ. The curve at the bottom. The rest of the word is simple straight-line slashes.
