Skinstudio's splash screen...

January 26, 2004 1:21:43 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I think Stardock should replace their splash screen for SkinStudio "The only thing better than a facelift...". I think this is sending a bad message. I for one am butt ugly, and I don't want to see that facelifing or cosmetic surgery are commmon options for the ordinary outb there... Comments are welcome.

you know, I never even notice?

I dunno, it isn't like it is saying "Get Thin - PUKE" or anythying like that.

Personally it doesn't bother me because that ( surgeory ) is a personal choice. I don't think it is going to cause anyone to have an shocking revalation that they will in fact setup an appt with a doctor 5 minutes after reading. But I guess if someone was really ragged on/or and has self image issues it could cause them some discomfort which would not be a good thing.

But then again I do define "Ugly" as being visually applied as in (someone looks ugly), but as in (someone is ugly inside, or becomes ugly inside)...

Looks are superficial to me...

Surgey IS a personal choice... But there are a lot of people who are influenced by those messages - I'd rather not see that happened


Ugly, but with pride!!!

Well, I must admit, for such a fine product that SKS is, the splash screen leaves a lot to be desired. After all, Stardock is the epitomy of customization.

Besides,it's the meaniing, not the intended message response, that's important.

So you say this is a good practice do you? Of course you don't find the referance "ugly" in there. But what do you think the "not so beautiful people" find in that referance? Are you defending this practice? Please clarify...

Yes, I think the alcohol could quite certainly be a major fact in this irrational objection.
Come back tomorrow when you can be suitably embarrased by the whole affair.

After repeated uses of SS,I find I can no longer look myself in the mirror.I catch myself selecting facial features and attempting to import nicer features from the clipboard.After cutting myself shaving due to being unable to look at my default issue social interface,I have decided to sue Stardock for umpteen jillion dollars and a paper bag.

Oh IR! what a picture you have created in my mind!! lol!
Imagine how difficult it would be to recognise people we know and love, if they could use widgets to continually modify their image?..
I guess that would only be a problem for someone like me who enjoys changing the scenery I view on a regular basis....

I think this is sending a bad message.


OMG - Your stupidity I find offensive! Get a life and quit your pathetic baby whining.
Nothing irritates me more than people that take offense to some harmless word or slogan which was never intended by design to offend anyone.

But then again I do define "Ugly" as being visually applied as in (someone looks ugly), but as in (someone is ugly inside, or becomes ugly inside)...


just to correct my typo...

"But then again I do *not* define "Ugly" as being visually applied...."
