OOT decides
 

Is my avatar too offensive (and not funny) to be displayed?

Edit: clearing up some confusion

The picture is real, the pirate hats, parrot, and tv are all photoshopped in I believe.

I think they're just getting ready for Sept. 19th.

Re: OOT decides
 

is that a joke or real?

I find it funny.

Clearly the guys in the picture are making light of their situation, so I don't see anything wrong with it.

edit: Didn't see the photoshop comment. Duh.

Re: OOT decides
 

Let's just say someone has taken "liberties" with the photo. The TV makes it for me.

I was about to post this very thought but then noticed that the image had been photoshopped.

Stupid is as stupid does.

If i were in NO and i found a pirate hat i would so wear it while on a boat. Then again I have always wanted to quit my job to be a pirate and/or ninja.

That was my thinking. I didn't even notice the parrot or the TV. I just saw the hats. The photoshopping makes the pic not nearly as funny, and it's more offensive. I think I want to change my vote to no, don't use it.

Re: OOT decides
 

The picture is funny, but I don't think it's a good avatar because at 80x80 nothing is recognizable.

Re: OOT decides
 

I just noticed that the kid has been given a peg leg.

I just noticed this about 1 minute ago as well.

Re: OOT decides
 

The peg leg is fantastic.

Re: OOT decides
 

I think it's funnier because the Pirates of the Carribean ride is in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, but maybe it's just me.

Re: OOT decides
 

It's very offensive...but I laughed when I first saw it, despite myself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: OOT decides
 

I think the TV is photoshopped in as well. The lighting isn't right on it.

Re: OOT decides
 

F'ing hilarious. Gotta make like of crappy situations

Gotta make like?

If it were unedited, it'd be funny. But since it's not, I find it mean-spirited, and I don't think you should use it.

Adding the TV is especially egregious. These people have quite possibly lost their home, and not only are you making light of their misery, but you're going to imply they're thieves as well?

Pathetic.

I couldnt have said it better myself (except) edited or not I think it's horrible and hope you or a family member never have to go thru something like that!

Yeah? Having to open the image to view the whole thing does not a good avatar make.

Oh, and I find nothing funny about what's going on. Sorry, there's just no humor in it or your shopped image. Usually I can find humor in almost everything, but not in this case.

Re: OOT decides
 

Wrong. This is hilarious.

Re: OOT decides
 

so the peg-leg's real?

Re: OOT decides
 

I am from New Orleans, my entire family is still in the area. I think it is a tragedy what happened to these poor people.

And to post this pic at a time like this..... Is F'N hillarious! You know this is how them must feel a little bit anyway.

Just make sure you make a donation to the Red Cross to show that you do care and this is all in good fun!

Wrong. It's not hilarious. Even if it wasn't in poor taste, the execution and idea just aren't there.
I value OOT's take on humor less than the gum found on someone else's shoe.

Caddyshack. Riiiiight.

Keep it.

Re: OOT decides
 

I vote too offensive because I always vote against posting pictures of people who haven't given their explicit permission to have their pictures used for these types of purposes, unless they are celebrities.

Basically, if you're not 100% sure the guys in the picture would think it's cool and funny, then don't post it.

Re: OOT decides
 

Yo guys, I changed my avatar a couple of days ago, feel free to move along to a new, unexciting post.

Re: OOT decides
 

BTW - this is now my desktop background - I think it is hilarious

Re: OOT decides
 

It was actually my desktop background before it was my TPT avatar.

It also is still my desktop background.
