> 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.

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?

Is that what it is? I see something pressing against him. Is it papers? Dratted "save as" isn't fast enough to save the flashing picture.
However, I do trust Dr. Bob. And to me, trusting someone sometimes means choosing not to believe what your eyes tell you until you have a chance to hear what they have to say. It would be so enormously out of character for Dr. Bob to do something against the civility rules, that it is far easier for me to believe that I'm seeing wrong. Especially since I'm seeing it so briefly, but probably even if I got a good look at it.
And Dr. Bob, I do trust you to my toes. But even though I'm sure it's totally innocent, would you mind replacing it? If not with a striptease, then hmmm.... You could do it with a fliporama type (see Captain Underpants books) animation of sticking your tongue out at us and wiggling your fingers in your ears, orrrr giving us a big grin after being solemn, or maybe a hug?

Hi all,
Emmy is getting doggie therapy right now. She plans to stay away until the pic changes. Hope that's not incentive for Dr. Bob to leave it up... ;)By the way, it looks like an electric razor or some other electrical device to me. But then again, it flashes so quickly, it's hard to see.

hi, gg, that's strange..on my computer, it doesn't flash real quick...i see him holding a gun to his head *very* clearly..there's no mistaking it..i am really concerned that dr. bob might do something...

It looks to me like a pile of books are hitting Dr. Bob under the chin. I bet if we saw the whole picture rather than this close-of up the books hitting him and quickly knocking his head to the side, it would make sense to us. As it plays now, though, it lends itself to too much misinterpretation. My guess is that the effect was unintended but I think it should be replaced ASAP!!!

just looked at it again (my heart drops every time i see it). whether it's an actual gun or not, i don't know, but i think dr. bob definitely meant for it to look like one...there really is no other interpretation for this..i am really a bit freaked, here...
i don't think people make jokes like this unless there's a reason behind it...
