God is dead? And I am he?

Okay, just out of curiosity, why is my picture associated with a farcical, offensive, “God is dead, Obituary?”

God, comedian, religious and actor, born December 1 1940; died December 10 2005.

Sometimes the Internet and the weird connections it facilitates boggles the mind.

Hmm,

Maybe if you added a bit of code to your .htaccess you might not have this problem :-p

This is what I use to keep the dweabs away….

Nah, your code’s there, John. But since was the first time you posted a comment, it got put in my moderation queue. Shouldn’t happen from this point on.

I used some anti image linking code in my htaccess for a while, but I can afford the bandwidth now, and it’s not killing me. If somebody really abuses my reputation I can always implement it, or change the image name.

Some joker using an image of me in an obituary for God doesn’t really bother me. I don’t know why. Partly because I know it’s either a joke, satire, or stupid. And partly because nobody reading that message will know me and the likelihood of somebody thinking God managed to get a picture snapped while driving a Toyota Tercel around town is pretty slim. All things considered.

Plus, I’m pretty handsome, don’t you think? THe world could use more handsome, overweight, balding guys grinning from web pages here and there.
