Why is the default avatar a picture of micheal jackson? I am really disturbed by this. I don't mind his music but as a person he really creeps me out. Not because of all of the allegations against him and what not, though I do believe them. I remember when the orginal story with that one kid broke and they had a picture of him in the bed with the kid. But they settled out of court and then they said they did it for the money and made it up. Now it seems to me if I had paid someone 28 million dollars and then they came out and said it was all a lie I would probably sue them for the return of my money and press harrassment and slander charges. But I guess he doesn't need 28 million dollars... Anyhow. This isn't what orginated my being bothered by him its mostly just me rambling off onto another side topic lol. I have always been scared of him. When I was like 5 or 6 I remember watching his free willy song performance on some tv concert and it gave me nightmares. Fast foward until I was like 8 or so and the video for you are not alone comes out. The part where he rips his shirt off made me cry, like sobbing & bawling wanting my momma cry. And I have no clue why. There's just something about him I hate. I always have. It would also seem a tid bit more logical that the default avatar would be gorilla related. But obviously I am alone in thinking this lol. I'm still really anxious for this derby party tonight. I can't wait to wear my super fab expensive looking hat that I made for under 10 dollars lol. Anyhow Im done rambling on for now lol.

I think they make it MJ because people hate it so much that it overcomes their laziness to change it, so it means that more people have their own personalized avatars.

I love My Fellow Americans too, by the way, it's the best. "Hail to the chief, he's the chief and he needs hailing, I am the chief so everybody hail-like-crazy"

I feel the same way you do. I think some of his music is pretty cool, but he's too weird for me.

Zanzibar got it right;
We made the decision to make it Michael Jackson because nobody would ever change their avatars if it was a picture of something cool.

Exactly.
And because everyone [hopefully] has a different avatar, it's easier to distinguish ourselves between eachother. [although the wording of that sounded kind of... weird. lol]

your background: I have the icon of the tut+guitar! I don't even remember where I got it . . . haha
