Poll: Do you want 86 911's Avatar Back?
86 911 changed his Avatar because someone said they had to put him on their Ignore list because it wasn't work safe. I know its his Avatar, but for the good of everyone else (ok, me) I think we should give him honest feedback.

If the dumb Sheet that has trouble with an avatar at work *****es about that, he shouldn't be on this site during work time.
I say we let his employer monitor how much time he has stolen from his job surfing, and see if he feels more safe at work then. What a joke.

I kinda worry about those who need to see that avatar.
News-flash; the internet has a little more of that kind of content. . . .if you go looking hard.

I think it's kind of lame that he got rid of it for that reason.
Particularly lame of whomever complained too.

Geez. He should be offended by lots of things in here. But not that.

Yeah yeah . . .I see the humor in it too. A 16y/o with a booty shake'n avatar. --juvenile fun . ..like farts. Wait - youv'e given me a great idea Denis... I'm OFFENDED! Why doesn't GW Bush regulate stuff like this!?  He must be to busy counting his Haliburton profits to care.. . .OUR CHILDREN! WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF OUR CHILDREN? Poor young Matt . . another young victim of this evil administration. . . .and soon he will be drafted. ...that is how the Liberal lament goes; Right?

hmmm i feel that i'm obligated to contribute to this thread. ya know, sex and humor go hand in hand very often....if one can't understand that something is supposed to just be a laugh then thats their problem! a little sexy icon isn't racist, illegal, gross, violent, "hard-core", etc.....it's intent should be clear. and jeez......i think a boss at work would be more concerned with an employee not working than some tiny 50x50 pixel icon.....
and if someone is looking for real porn i seriously doubt they would end up on pelican parts staring at somones avatar! haha....now thats funny  fwiw i have gotten numerous compliments on my current avatar... p.s. matt, don't let the old conservative types on pp push you around! (ducking and running for cover!)

Nah, it isn't the porn aspect (IMO). It's the juvenile aspect of it.
I mean, sure, farbeit for me to argue that this site is devoid of needed juvenile content; BUT, to the average passer-by, some of these avatars make this site look like a group of kids, who just graduated from their Buzz-Lightyear jammies, and have moved all the way up to "oooohhhhh . . . boobies . .. oooohhhh" btw, I've never complained . .. but I can see why some would rather not have those up on teir work screen.

Island, you mean you didn't just graduate from Buzz-Lighyear jammies, speak for yourself.

I never liked that avatar. Not at all. Completely innappropriate. (It was way too small and moving too fast. Hard to focus. Make it bigger and slower and I'll reconsider my opposition.)

 Hay Matt - grow a sac dude, tell the stiff that told you to ditch your avatar to go (fill in the blank here).

He didn't tell him to ditch it, I think he just said he had on his Ignore list because it wasn't work safe for him.
Hmm, votes are 2/3, 1/3, I would have thought 99.9% for reinstating. Is Matt (86 911) seeing this? I have a 16 year old son as well, he drives a 72 Olds Cutlass.

There are some things I'd rather not have to try to explain to my 5 year old daughter. I wouldn't check out the Grid Girls thread with her in the room... that's under my control. However, if I'm reading about valve adjustments there's no telling what might scroll by. Personally, I think avatars should be work/family friendly. Just my $.02 worth.

Homer Simpson in drag would, I guess, be hard to explain to a five year old, too.

"Valve adjustment" does sound a little nasty...
