When I worked at a Motorola tentacle I got in trouble for having a poster with a US flag and a Soviet flag with the tagline of "two evil empires, one down, one to go..".
Apparently, a recently-imported[1] redneck manager[2] didn't approve of it.
[1] MotRot had a policy of never making a manager above a certain grade redundant - instead they just shipped them off to anywhere with spare headcount/budget. Even if they had to create an utterly un-needed management post for them. And reduced the budget for actual, needed headcount.
[2] Our IT director (herself a citizen of leftpondia) was somewhat amused by it..
