7. 2 reasons I kind of like it.
First, it's a cute hack. Sure it's immature and annoying, and illegal if hard to enforce. But they could have done something far worse and more vulgar.

Secondly, I think the image is pretty illustrative of the dual nature of the Bush administration. 2 faced is right. Constantly saying one thing, then doing another.

8. I was SOOOO pissed when I first saw that. Thought it was just me!
Thought maybe some DUer didn't like my posts and was labeling me as a two-faced Bushite or something.

I feel a little better knowing EVERYONE is sporting that hideous mug.

12. You have nothing to fear from BBV
Why, it would be as difficult to hack BBV as it would be to hack . . . uh, Democratic Underground!

13. It's a glimpse into the future...
if * is re-selected. That'll be our new flag as this country begins to systematically kill and slaughter anyone that doesn't give em what they want. That IS the face of Big Brother.

18. Everyone's avatar got replaced with this BUSH* JOKER FACE OF DOOM!


I don't think it was a hack though; I think it was a bug in the software, maybe introduced with their fix to the database problems. If it was a hack, the picture probably wouldn't still be on the DU server like it is. Plus the picture (named two-faced.gif) isn't flattering to Bush*.

17. Here. I've decided to make it my avatar.
Schizo, binary, two faced Bush.
I don't think it was a hacker. I think it was a sociological experiment performed by the mods...
