I find my own avatar offensive
« on: May 10, 2007, 08:05:35 AM »
The pic in question is taken from Hazel Blears' little website, and is of one of her supporters.  And with supporters like that who needs opponents?

I recall seeing it a few weeks back and thinking what a nice avatar it would make for someone.  Having selected it for myself on a whim, I am now regretting it.

I was going to make this a poll, but can't see how to do the poll-y thing.

So should I leave it or change it?

Change it, is, of course, the required answer.

Please do change it if you can manage to be technically apt at this hour of the morning.

I used to have a guy that worked for me that looked just like that ? he was a useless tosser.  noooo:

You can add a poll but you do it after you have created the post ? you have to somewhat predictably click the ADD POLL button.  ::)

They do say your avatar reflects who you would like be.

A closet Blear supporter obviously.

Do you have the full photo instead of just head and shoulders?

I am curious to know if the lower half is in a Wonderwoman or Donald Duck outfit .

More likely an outfit hand-knitted from his own goat?s wool (unbleached) and a pair of sandals made out of an old truck tyre?

I must have missed the first one then but this one is pretty awful.
Uncle Mort is right ~ your avatar reflects your personality ~ or perhaps projects it  ~ whatever it is gross .... Get it off! noooo:
