Please change your avatar, it's disturbing me Increase Your PM Length

Az.

I like to read your posts, but everytime my eyes stray to the left side and falls upon your avatar, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Can't help it, there's no getting used to it for me. So please be a sport and find another one?

I realise of course that this is ridiculous and that I have no place asking others to take my emotional reaction into account on anything, least of all their choice of avatar.

But I'd still like to see if Az couldn't find an image more fitting than a girl being hit over the head with a bloody axe.

While typing this, I've also come to realise that odds are likely in favour of the outcome from this being more people adopting the very same avatar, but there we are.

Oh, this is also a place to talk about other people's avatars in general.

Carry on.

I'll agree to maybe change mine to a nice picture of Anders Fogh, but that's as far as I'll go.

Dear Winston!

First, allow me to say, that I fully understand your reaction. Seeing a girl hit with an axe on the head is not a pretty thing. To be quite honest, I expected such horrendous imagery to be promptly and forcibly removed by the administration.

If any of you remember, my previous avatar was a small repetitive animated gif that was taken from a movie, which consisted of a black&white image of a girl which showed a jesture reminicent of fellatio.

Sadly, I recieved a request from above to remove that image promptly. I have my current avatar for quite some time - I am still expecting my PM. Alas, as I check my box, and the message I yearn for so much continues to elude my doorstep. Must be a server error, for I am sure that violence and murder is considered much harsher than a girl doing the glub-glub motion. Maybe if a place an animated gif of people jumping of the WTC, I'll have a better effect.




But for a moment of seriousness - as you all know, I am a big sellout, and a crowd whore - so, as per your request, image removed.

I say Az should take Siro's avatar.

It would be good if all the Israelis graced us with that one



Actually, scrap that. This avatar should be the rallying flag of all our American posters, so that we can recognize them more easily

Dear Az,

Thanks very much! I'm pleased also that this gave you an opportunity to make a very valid point, if I may say so, in explaining the 'story' behind the choice. Interesting, to say the least.
