I really, really, have reached my last straw with having the fucking plaintive Oliver Twist visage of Jimmy Wales looking at me every time I go to Wikipedia. It's making me start to AVOID THE SHIT out of Wikipedia, which is too bad because it's actually a useful resource.
So.
http://www.change.org/petitions/jimmy-wales-founder-of-wikipedia-replace-the-image-of-jimmy-wales-with-that-of-a-golden-retriever#
Can anyone make a big-eye version of the Jimmy Wales pics? The large, dewy, slightly weepy eyes of Wikipedia's founder need to haunt the soul of the internet. Fucking please. Like it could get any worse.
But it's a PERSONAL APPEAL, Nigel...He has deigned to talk to us, the little people.
How can you be so fucking disrespectful and insensitive?
I didn't even know what you were talking about, until I allowed javascript to run on Wikipedia. Needless to say, I turned it off 10 seconds later.
Here's an idea: tell Jimbo you will donate money, in return for his lame IRC flirting and noodz.
Does anyone have the picture of a fucking adorable Golden Retriever I can use? Legally?
Aww, but how can you not love that adorable Objectivist mug...

OH GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY
I WILL DONATE $5 THE SECOND HE CHANGES HIS FACE TO A PICTURE OF A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
I SWEAR TO GOD.
Is it still doing it?
I'm not seeing it anymore, which may have something to do with me donating $20 a couple days ago.

How do you say "Jimmy Wales" in Greek?
Iacovoscambriphobia
Iacovos = Greek for James/Jacob
Cambria = Latin for Wales
Some buttmunch reverted and locked that wikipedia article. Here's a link to the funny version: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scopophobia&oldid=462045492
doesn't the close button hide it forever?
So, i no longer see him at the top of wiki.
he has been replaced by the image of wiki programmer named Brandon Harris.
who reminds me of Pickles from Metalocalypse.

only if you keep around all your wikipedia cookies. I currently got my browser configured to throw away all cookies on exit except for a whitelist of places I'd like to stay logged in to.
Brandon Harris looks like a guy from a really shitty band that goes on first at a small club that's featuring six bands that night.
I'd still rather see a dog or a flounder.

In fact, he does!
:lulz:
We have a ringer.
So now that we got rid of what's his face, what are we going to do about the new dude that looks like one of the guys from Amon Amarth?
He's gone. They have a squinting hag now.
When i read this i thought you were talking about me.
My bad.
