Cartoon characters: You’re not Superman. You’re just not.

Speak for yourself…

Back when the internet was ASCII-only, ugly women (fat people, ethnic people–insert your own prejudice here) couldn’t be dismissed immediately, before a single word was spoken, as losers or imbeciles based on their appearance, as people do in real life. On the internet, no one knew I was a dog–they talked to me like I was a real person, which was exactly the opposite of how people treated me in real life. Now everyone expects a picture, and when I provide one, they blow me off. It’s not an improvement.

So I take it you like my new-as-of-yesterday Twitter/FB avatar — a more recent, more direct face shot?

Whew! I worried you would have something about people who photoshop their faces onto someone else’s red Bozo wig. I’m in the clear.

I totally agree about the kid thing! When I search for someone on FB, and I get pictures of kids… I don’t know if that’s my friend or not! So I skip adding them.

2. You & your husband/wife: You’re married. You’re in a relationship. That’s nice. When a person puts their spouse in their picture, I immediately guess that either one member is insecure or the relationship is in trouble. Whatever. It’s an individual account, not a group account.

Or in my case, it’s because I’m dashingly good looking and don’t want to get hit on – so my wife is in the frame as a warning shot across the bow of any flirtatious types – to let them know to not waste their (or my) time.
