Comment(by mikeperry):

 Giorgio is Cc'd. In the past, I've mentioned the usability issues people
 have when they see the snake to him, but I don't think it's high priority
 for him. Either that, or he likes his logo more than any issues people may
 have when they encounter it on random webpages. After all, most people who
 install NoScript themselves will at least have seen the logo once
 before... (Unfortunately for our userbase that is not usually the case).

 However, Firefox 17 now has its own click-to-play barrier which is a bit
 more friendly and intuitive (it contains a play button). Unfortunately it
 doesn't cover video/audio objects. It might be simpler to just make it
 work with HTML5 video and the canvas than hacking NoScript.
