Getting tired of the breastfeeding icon wank? Never fear, a new icon wank is slowly rising from the murky depths and shall soon reign supreme!

Let's give a warm welcome to the Licking a microphone wank!


Is it pornagraphic? Is this OMG, bullshit? Shall we all start writing in to complain and make the lickety lick-it our default icons? And Hey, calling this situation 'gay' isn't very nice! But calling it lame is just as bad!

There is no talk yet of a microphone lick-in at Six Apart's headquarters but the wank is young and it is spreading.

	Hey, I'm both lame and gay! Cool. (Well, no, I'm non-lame disabled and non-gay queer, but dude, I should totally own being lame and gay. Though where I live, I can just call myself "wicked queer".) (Reply to this)

	Well, all I can say is I really won't mind a ton of protest icons of Trent licking things. Much more enjoyable than tons of breastfeeding icons, IMHO... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I was just coming over to see if anyone had reported this. I want to see a bunch of people put up default icons that look sexual up close and then turn out to be an armpit or finger or something. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I think that there's very little Trent Reznor does that isn't inherently pornographic. Like having Death From Above 1979 open for them. They're not bad, exactly...just...different from Nine Inch Nails. We figured Trent was banging the drummer. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	On one hand, like they says, it just can't be used as a DEFAULT. No need to get rid of it guys. On the other hand, LJ mods? Yeah, it is a microphone. Ever heard of a thing called "innuendo"? That's all it is. The microphone looks phallic, but that's the point. It's not a penis, it's just Trent being... Trent. Get a grip, guys. Lurkerbunny @ LJ (Reply to this)

	Uh oh, microphone blowjob nazis! I better go hide my icon in the attic. (Reply to this)

	iwanttobeasleep 2006-06-21 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	When will these morons realize that those other icons get through because they either 1. are not defaults or 2. have never been reported. I've had enough of people going, "How dare you say I can't use this icon when these people are using those icons?!" NO ICON IS EXPLICITLY BANNED! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Maybe they just don't want kids to be licking microphones. It's unsanitary, and you could get a nast shock if it's defective. (Reply to this)

	The icon stuff is getting ridiculous. A bookseller comm I'm a member of was recently suspended because the comm default icon incorporated some of the business imagery. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Um, hello, little wanker? You can still use the icon. Just NOT AS YOUR DEFAULT. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! I think ISPs should start requiring everyone in the household to pass a fifth-grade reading comprehension test before they sign you up. Seriously (Reply to this)(Thread)

	OK, now that I've checked back and seen that icon 986739463876 times? All I can think of is how many times Trent must have had to lick that mic, and how annoying and unpleasant it would have been if it turned into one of those 30-take nightmares. (Reply to this)

	I am really tired. I read the post, immediately forgot I had linked there via here. I almost wanked all over the place about the nuances of gay and lame, and why 'lame' would still work in context but 'gay' doesn't. Is it really bad when sleep deprivation causes me to default into vocabulary-geek-wonder? Must get back into normal sleep pattern. (Reply to this)(Thread)
