Regarding my "shocking" avatar... Jun 10, 2006
Ok it hasn't been 24 hours since I finally found an avatar and I am already getting PMs and posts about it.

It's a FUNNY avatar. I am not s.e.x.ist . I am not trying to shock ppl here. This is Stewie from Family Guy. This is an excerpt from one of the episodes and I really, really don't see how it could shock someone unless you have way too much time on your hands to go around criticizing ppl on a forum over a 100x100 pixel animated gif. I think I made it clear in my posts so far that I respect women, different cultures, different religions.

I AM going to change the damn avatar but I wanted to make it clear how absurd your reactions were.

Ahhhhh I liked the other avatar! I thought it was really funny! Only those people who know jack about Family Guy would have complained about it, and I bet those that did complain didn't open their gobs about Liban's baby smoking a spliff - hypocrits!!!

It's all good. Just feeling cheeky. But I don't know why anyone would moan about Nicks piccy. I actually thought that it was pretty good at breaking down boundaries as the lil' guy was open to all girls of all races - geez no pleasing some people.

:lol: Don't worry, I'll use my Stewie avatar on other forums, it's just too neat to go to my recycle bin. I just don't want to end up arguing with ppl on a forum over such a small thing. It's not what I had in my mind when I registered here...

Whats the big deal about your avatar? Don't see the point of starting a thread on it. If you think its good, then why should you care about what others feel. Tell em to f*** ***

Nick,

I'd put it back if I were you.......too bad what "some" of the others think about it.....there is more name calling and belittling from some forum members on here to worry about than an innocent avatar of the Family Guy.....

Um ppl I really really don't want to turn this into a battle of wills. It's not that important. I wouldn't have even made a topic out of this before changing my avatar if it was for another reason. But let's just say I don't like being called s.e.x.ist. Because it so happens that this is one of the things in life that I despise and fight when I am confronted to. And unfortunately this happens quite a lot in M-E societies.

Anyway case closed. I live for women, I believe that a man would be nothing, NOTHING without a woman by his side to share his experiences and thoughts with. Now that this has been cleared, I can finally start packing for my trip to the UK... Leaving tomorrow at 14h30 8)

I was one of the people who wrote to Nick to complain. Kiss my back bacon people - I'm entitled to my own opinion. Hey, go ahead guys - you can talk about "doing" women all you like, because that really does show respect for women. :roll:
