Judging by a little circle with a digitally cut out part of a photograph, that is currently being called "Avatar" by most of the people these days. I can honestly tell that who ever is on that picture is quite a bit more attractive then a man in a woman cloths we saw a few minutes ago. And if this picture truly belongs to the person that is written that comment. I must say that the comment is mistaken. And should be changes to something a bit more like "Hugh Laurie as a woman is less attractive then Me.". But than again. It would probably loose it's power.
