Avatars

That's heartbreakingly cruel.

 

That's tame compared to what Bob Ezrin did to his kids while producing Lou Reed's Berlin album. The album tells the story of a couple's relationship from romance to doom and gloom. The track "Kids" tells about the woman having her children taken away from her. There's a moment in the song where you hear children crying intensely and calling for their mother.

The children on the track are Bob Ezrin's daughter and son. To elicit realistic performances from his children he told them their mother was leaving and would never see them again. He then put them in a closet and committed their highly emotional reaction to tape for use on the album.

 

Ugh. That makes ripping off the kids who sang on "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" seem tame.

Oh, and for what it's worth, Bad Guy has had some great avatars -- including the ice cream bunny.

 

The photographer?

 

I've let my hair grow out since this picture was taken.

 

I like your new ride.

 

I'm not a 10-month old girl, either.

 

Wow, how much speed is Bert on??

 

Then you've never really thrown a party.

 

Wow... just saw it and fixed it. That was ugly.

 

Actually, I thought your avatar was an outtake from a Burger King commercial until I looked up the na,e

 

I'm actually Standish.
