Bye Bye Boobie!

[ClassG]

Time's come to be a man of my word and remove the Hooter's Avatar from my posts. It may take some time to reset my Profile and Avatar selection, but the process has begun.

I'd like to thank ALL for playing along. Judging from the votes, I believe we've proven - once and for all- that Boobies will be sought-after, admired and protected forever by most 'pilot-types.' I am honored to be one among such an auspicious group of fine men and women.

Of all the replies posted, the ONLY compelling reasons offered for the removal of my Avatar came from English and Toy Soldier. Their concerns were far from selfish, so I apologize to the many thousands of innocent bystanders who may have noticed that teeny-weeny nipple while reading Flightinfo.com over your shoulder at FBO's across the nation.

As for the rest, I believe you too may learn to find comfort and happiness in the presence of boobies. With minimal professional counselling, I'm certain you can overcome those irrational fears of a Naked Boobie jumping out at you from behind some tree, or running your car off the side of a cliff. I wish you the best of luck.

As yet, I have not found a suitable replacement for the Hooter's Avatar, although some options are being considered (ThxBoo).

Thanks Again to all.

ClassG.



Whether the issue was Censorship or Boobies-in-General, I still don't really know. But it sure was kickass to discuss something other than Politics and Religion for a few days.

I have a good pic of a demon lighting someone on fire you can have.

I personally liked the avatar but the problem with it and others like it is that I can't read this board while I'm at work. If there was an objectionable picture on a page I was looking at, OSI agents would be knocking down my office door.

Thanks for asking and good luck on your search for an avatar that suits you and keeps you out of contra-versy.

ClassG, you're a funny and stand-up guy. Thanks- and thanks to everyone who voiced an opinion-one way or the other.

It makes me wonder, am I the only one on this planet who knows that you can set your options to not show the Avtars? For all those of you who are deathly afraid of somone looking over your shoulder and seeing an airplane with a silly paint job; It's very easy to do, go to "edit options" in your user CP and set "Show user's avatar in their posts?" to no. You will be freed of the oppressive worry that your career, nay your life, even, will be destroyed if someone noticed the hooter's plane on your screen......also the forum pages will download a litle faster if you have a slow dial-up.

I enjoy looking at all the Avatars. Why do I need to change my habits on the board so someone can post a pair of tits. Look, I am on this board all the time and my wife and kids look over my shoulder to see what is going on in the aviation industry. If you want to see titties. go to Iwanttoseetits.com. Not Flightinfo.com. Why do you think Mark censors curse word. **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**

well, to be excruciatingly precise, (dare I say....anal?)it wasn't a pair, it was one, and it wasn't even a real one, it was a paint job on an airplane......that's what we're discussing here, not some graphic XXX image, but a *cartoon* breast painted on an airplane which flies around undraped (unless the picture is a fabrication) Why should *you* change your habits? It's because *You* are the one with issues about cartoon breasts. Let me turn the question around on you. why should *someone else* change something merely because *you* are so intensely repressed that *you* have issues about cartoons?

......my wife and kids look over my shoulder to see what is going on in the aviation industry.

Ohhhh, mmyyyy gawwwwdd, what if they should pick up a National Geographic and see.......naked pigmyies??!!???! Shock, horror!!!!

......If you want to see titties....

Umm, no, you're missing the point, probably intentionally. Frankly, I thought the Avtar was a little juvenile, and not terribly appealing, but I really didn't give it much more thought, I just rolled my eyes and moved on in life. Certainly, I wasn't obsessing about it, as some appear to be.

ive got nothing against breasts...jugs...tits...titties...dont get me wrong. and titties are great. titties are fun. but does your avatar have to be titties? if you must put titties up there, what about some nose art? theres some mighty fine titties in nose art. and theres some impossibly gifted women still wearing their clothes out on the net.....with titties. (speaking of titties, anyone been to rate-my-rack.com yet?)

so what about something fun? thats what i try to do. Flavor Flav is fun. i had alot of fun with that avatar. my current barrel o fun is....fun. the midget in a barrel was fun and so was the more politically appropriate blindfolded man i started all this with.

and what are your kids doing trying to look over your shoulder to "see whats going on in the aviation industry"? i dunno that just sounded like you have a 5 and 7 year old aspiring to run an airline somewhere.
