went-green-to-support-iran.jpgFolks on Twitter recently introduced me to a new movement (ehh, fad): adding a bright green overlay to your avatar as a sign of support for free and open democratic elections in Iran.  So, yes, I thoroughly dislike Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and yes, I do think that the recent election in Iran was a complete joke.  In Twitter hash-tag speak, one might even call it a total #electionfail.  And for the record, no, I don't support any other candidate or political party in Iran.  All I'm interested in is Iran opening itself up so the Iranian people can actually elect a President that won't continue to drive the country into the ground.

Want to join the club?  You can make your own green Twitter avatar here.  Or, you can do it yourself using a tool like Photoshop CS3: Image->Adjustments->Black and White.  Click Tint, and adjust the Hue and Saturation sliders until you have a nice green glow.

Here's a screenshot.
