Hideous Avatar

[jake_fink]

Is my avatar really bothering folks? [huh]

Should I change it?

Nobody really cares do they... I'm on most ignore lists aren't I? :eusa_doh:

It's a wax model, BTW, not a real sunburn.

 

[Matt Deckard]

What's really under the patch.

It's fine by me.

Having been accused by some (MK) as having a hideous avatar myself, I think yours makes mine look great and therefore, I vote for it's continued use!

 

[mysterygal]

well, it's not exactly the most prettiest thing I've gazed upon, but I have seen worse...your avatar changes pretty frequently, so I just figure it'll be gone sone anyways

I like it. The man in the moon ... Or moon in the man, what? hmmm ... Is it made of cheese? - sort of like wax, i guess. Maybe no

Paranoia is its own reward.

 

[binkmeisterRick]

I'm not paranoid, it's just everyone's out to get me.

I thought it was one of those corpses preserved with some sort of silicone alchemy and exhibited around the globe. You know, the peeled guy on a peeled horse, etc.
Really. Thought it was a closeup of a peeled guy.

So yeah, for me? I'd say do something nicer.

The guy who makes his money with these corpses is a complete freak, and he's not a real hat wearer, but a grudging still-better-than-showing-my-dome-and-anyway-I'm-an-artist one. (In my opinion, lawers, in my opinion.)

 

[Baron Kurtz]

There was some issue with chinese executions, i believe ...

[scotrace]

He was exhibiting peeled bald executed Chinese Freaks?
Man. Sick and wrong.


How about a nice HAT avatar, jake_fink? Your smiling (unpeeled) mug perhaps... This one is just creeping me out, cause it looks like a Peeled Guy.

Just sayin'

The guy who makes his money with these corpses is a complete freak.

He is, but the money from his exhibition goes toward paying for the plastic preparation itself (which is quite expensive). Those models go to medical schools all over the world; they educate students (and laypersons like us) very effectively.

Anatomists find the human body beautiful in all its layers. Why, I wonder, don't we?

The corpses were donated by their ex-inhabitants, who believed in the project and understood that their anonymous bodies would be viewed in perpetuity by others.

Is there any problem with this?
