The quote seems somehow less profound with Hitler staring at you.

Well, the picture was originally a beautifully drawn semi-nude woman, but there was a nipple in the picture so I couldn't put it up.  This is my backup.

Hmm.... there must be something in the rulebook about potentially offensive signitures based around religion and races...

Haha, I'd love to hear the explanation about how my signature is offensive enough to get rid of.

That's not Hitler, it's big Brother from George Orwell's 1984.  The resemblance that the artist created is just him using a Hitler-esque moustache to evoke hatred easily.  For me, it's just a reminder that our freedoms that we have come to cherish in this country are being slowly stripped away, yet very few people are complaining about it.  Privacy, the freedom to marry who we want, even the ability to smoke cigarettes where we want are all vanishing.

Meanwhile, the quote isn't emo, it's supposed to be inspirational.  As in, do you really want that quote to be true, or do you want to appreciate life as much as you can?  It's like that Mary Schmich article (and cheesy song by Baz Luhrmann) as a guide to live life without regret.

Finally, the avatar, while from an author that normally draws cute little animals, just reminds me of Oedipus -- a message that we should be careful not to poison those around us by being blind to our own horrific acts.

Although, most people who look at them and just see a way to make fun of emos. ;)

a kitty tearing its eyes you makes you think about fucking your mother? jesus dude, get some professional help.
the quote really is kinda queer though. it'd be better to just say "get off your ass and fuck a pretty girl".

whoever made that sig image must not've read the part where the poster was described.

Well, I figure ripping your eyes out of your face and having sex with your mother offer about the same level of satisfaction...or at least it would if you enjoyed sadomasochism.

As for the image, the artist probably just messed up shading the upper lip and decided to scribble in that whole area like "Yeah, I totally meant to make a Hitler stache."

That's what I'm here for.  That and sexual favors, but mostly for the flowers.

Orwell was almost as genius as Goethe. Perhaps more so.

The signature was already awesome, but with the full reasoning behind the avatar, the eyeless cat also became awesome.

So, uh, awesome.

How about the freedom to inhale air that isn't polluted with cigarette smoke? :P

It's not emo. 1984 is a book that everyone needs to read, and you'll understand just how well it describes our society today.
