Join http://www.WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Controversial Symbols. For this list, we're ranking visual, political and ideological symbols that often serve up side orders of hot button controversy or trigger strong personal reactions from the public, as well as those that possess the potential to offend or cause an uproar.
