Is my avatar really bothering folks? [huh]

Should I change it? :rolleyes:

Nobody really cares do they... I'm on most ignore lists aren't I? :eusa_doh:

It's a wax model, BTW, not a real sunburn. :eek:

Having been accused by some (MK) as having a hideous avatar myself, I think yours makes mine look great and therefore, I vote for it's continued use! ;)

I thought it was one of those corpses preserved with some sort of silicone alchemy and exhibited around the globe. You know, the peeled guy on a peeled horse, etc.
Really. Thought it was a closeup of a peeled guy.

So yeah, for me? I'd say do something nicer.

The guy who makes his money with these corpses is a complete freak, and he's not a real hat wearer, but a grudging still-better-than-showing-my-dome-and-anyway-I'm-an-artist one. (In my opinion, lawers, in my opinion.)

He was exhibiting peeled bald executed Chinese Freaks?
Man. Sick and wrong.


How about a nice HAT avatar, jake_fink? Your smiling (unpeeled) mug perhaps... This one is just creeping me out, cause it looks like a Peeled Guy.

Just sayin'

He is, but the money from his exhibition goes toward paying for the plastic preparation itself (which is quite expensive). Those models go to medical schools all over the world; they educate students (and laypersons like us) very effectively.

Anatomists find the human body beautiful in all its layers. Why, I wonder, don't we?

The corpses were donated by their ex-inhabitants, who believed in the project and understood that their anonymous bodies would be viewed in perpetuity by others.

Is there any problem with this?
