What are you thinking?? Is this supposed to be a joke?? You do realize it looks like a suicide joke to me? I made sure to check with other people to verify that it's not simply because of my background. They confirmed that indeed, in their opinion, it also looks like a fake suicide joke.
How could you possibly be so insensitive??? I'm am without the words to describe how I am feeling right now. It goes beyond simply offended. I'm shaking.
How could you do this to us???

I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me. Can't say it's an appealing look...

Dinah - does that mean you think it's funny, or "suicidish"? not understanding your "vote".

I keep telling myself that it was unintentional, and he meant to show something else...but I keep calling people and asking them to look at it, and they all see the same thing I do.
I don't understand how a psychiatrist could be so insensitve to how this might impact people with thoughts of suicide, or with suicides in life history? How he could not see this might be TRIGGER for people with PTSD?
I'm sure there are those reading this who think, oh this is just Emmy, one of those evil Bob bashers, looking for any reason to bash Bob. Think again.
This is Emmy...daughter of suicide....triggered beyond belief. And missing and needing her mom right now.

It would have been a bit less hurtful to me if you had simply said, "I vote for the new pic".
"I vote with Slnky" feels to me like "I vote against Emmy", when it's really not personal, right? It's just about the picture? Right??

You don't see the Dr Bob photo at the top of the page change to another image? It does it very quickly, but sometimes it gets stuck on the off-putting photo. Bizarro.

Nope. I only see the picture that's been up there for a while, now.
I'm at work, now, so maybe it will be different on my home computer.

Em emailed me the .gif file.....I don't know why I'm not loading that same .gif with the Babble pages, but I see a different picture of bob....
I cannot believe what I see. I hope the offensive display is removed at once. I hope to see an apology to all members of Babble.
I'm so speechless (almost) that I can't say more.

Emmy, I didn't mean anything at all by it. I don't understand the new picture, that's why I asked Dr. Bob. I have a fair amount of confidence in Dr. Bob to think it wasn't intended as a suicide joke. That wouldn't even occur to me as his intent.
But I was simply saying I would agree with Slinky that there were more pleasant alternatives to the present animated experiment, including her joking reference to a strip tease. I was merely kidding Dr. Bob, that's all.
I wasn't taking sides with anyone, and it never occurred to me that there were sides to take. I don't think Slinky and you are at odds over the matter?

I don't see anything unusual. It's the same picture that's been there for awhile.

It flashes so quickly that I haven't gotten a really good look at it. And I can't seem to capture it - I only get the other one. If you managed to capture it, can you email it to me?
