[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1439646, member: 177"] I doubt it too, for a number of reasons. First off, you say you're trying to be funny. But political figure + comedy = political statement. Like it or not. Second, even without the numbers, it's a picture of a guy who is involved in a notable and politically divisive war. Even if you take out the numbers, he's still sending forth a ball of fire and giving some flim-flam comments (remember that quotes out of context do not lose all meaning to the reader, and when connected with Rummy, such words are note entirely out of context, are they?). All together, under current conditions, it is hard to believe that you are not trying to say something political. If you really didnt want to, you would have used Tiger, rather than Rummy, hm? Rummy is funnier [i]because[/i] he's political, no? And, even if you personally had no policial message in mind, that's insufficient. Your intent is half, the other half is how people are likely to read it. One diehard conservative on these boards has a bad day and sees that sig, and what do you expect is going to happen? Tea and crumpets? The "no politics and no religion" rules are there to keep the peace. That's a big honkin' pic, and it's likely to cheese someone off. As for religous quotes in other sigs - gotta take care of the beam in your own eye before dealing with the splinter in another's hm? :) [/QUOTE]
