That Vanilla Ice can just as easily be Morrissey. And for that matter, World War 2 Soldier looks like Pippi Longstocking armed with a cricket bat.

A few months ago, I was using Tom from MySpace as my profile picture. It was good for a few Likes.

You could get to 171 just with silhouettes of Lady Gaga.

When I saw "Chef", I thought, "That doesn't really look like Chef at all."

Some of these look like they would be kind of fun to use. A lot of these are unrecognizable if you aren't prompted with the name before seeing them.
Pedobear is conveniently located near the Pokemon characters, having been contributed by the same user.
Huh. Go figure.

This post is titled 171 Alternatives. The article it goes to is called 69 Alternatives. Copying and pasting your tags into a text editor I find that there 98 tags.
This troubles me greatly. It has set up a small buzzing sound in the back of my brain that will never stop until I give in and hand count the pictures and find out for sure which, if any, is the correct number.

Or you could just...upload any of those actual pictures as pics, not as silhouettes?
I dunno. Have we gotten happy about making Facebook profile pic in-jokes? Because eh.

This inspired me to look up when exactly it changed from 'thefacebook.com' to 'facebook.com. It was almost exactly 5 years ago. Damn.

OK, so what do you do when some kid you knew in highschool asks you to friend him, and he's a loving husband, devoted father, and completely out-of-the-closet furry, who has commissioned illustrations of his real-life family as furries plastered all over his wall?
On the one hand, co-workers and family can see this shit. On the other, is it really worse than the dwarf pornographer from Georgia I already friended?
I'm frankly at a loss.
(* Here's the explanation. Before he made women take off their clothes for a living, we used to play Star Wars 2nd Edition Expanded rules when we were both in Rhode Island. I was an arm-chair historian! He was a wookie-ewok hybrid, and in many ways, still is. He once freed me from a trap, so I owe him. He also has a good twin IRL whom I haven't friended.)
