Saw a spread eagle shaped American flag perched on a cross.

…Yeah. Not going to spend much time talking to that person. :rolleyes:

I love America, and I’m a liberal christian, but come-the-fuck-on! I don’t think I’m out of line when I make certain assumptions about the kind of person who’d choose that as their avatar, especially when it isn’t even a political forum. Obviously this was on another messageboard. Surprisingly, on a board primarily for gamers.

So, I guess in the spirit of the (just past) season, any bizarre, frightening avatars you’ve seen?

PS. Probably the most funny avatar I’ve ever seen was a small-size animated video of a bunny humping a balloon on the floor till it pops underneath him. 😃
