Yesterday I was photoshopped into a Dilbert cartoon at work by one of the very liberal people in my office. He is one of those people who think that the election was stolen again by Bush and the Republicans. He is also a Micheal Moore lover.
My question to you guys is what would you do. Part of me wants to punch him in his face and tell him to never photo shop me again. Then theres the part of me that wants to photo shop him into some sort of gay seen, or something along those lines. Then theres the part of me that wants to just laugh about it and let it go.
I know that I should probably just let it go, but if I do and he continues to do these things I know that I will become very angry at him and probably end up having words if not more with this guy.
So I am asking for your opinions. What would you guys do?
I would ignore it for now , or laugh at it .
If you can't laugh at yourself you probably don't have much of a sense of humor , and we know that just isn't like you Popere . Besides , he just gave you a golden invitation to put up lots of pics of Bush labeled "My guy won , how about yours?"

This sounds like an excellent opprotunity to take the high road. Turn the other cheek. Show how the average conservative is superior to the flaming liberal. Just my $.02.
Heck, I'd even come it to work tomorrow wearing a curled up tie!
Kevin it's funny that you replied. I was telling my wife last night that I hoped you would. I have always respected your posts and opinions. You and I seem to think alike. I just don't articulate myself that well. I was thinking of laughing this one off and see if it continues. If it does then I will cross that bridge when it comes.
You articulate just fine Popere ,
and you're welcome .
Like Eto said , take the high road and turn the other cheek . It probably won't stop the joker , but you'll have the higher ground from which to strike ... er ... respond . There are millions of poor little "Flush the johns" bumperstickers languishing away out there with nothing to do ...

I'd just leave well enough alone. His candidate lost, and the burden falls on him to justify that loss. If you can't help but confront him, I'd just laugh at his face. "That's the best you highly-educated liberals can come up with?"
Now if you do want to fight fire with fire (not necessary, but it's up to you), Photoshop him in a hot dog bun being eaten by Moore. When you consider how much of the money Moore made off of Fahrenheit 9/11 goes to grocery bills, it actually would be a pretty accurate statement.
Aught Six, you are my hero! That is a wonderful idea!
@ a previous job, I worked with a very lovely young lady - very lovely! Being married, I wasn't "playing," but one day she told me that I reminded her of Dilbert. Talk about a shot! At least she didn't say I reminded her of her father...

Just be grateful you don't remind her of Charles Whitman. The weird thing is that when a female coworker of mine said that, she had one heck of a twinkle in her eye.
There are lots of things you could do that would be funny. You should check with your company's policy about this sort of thing though. If management is liberal and you retaliate in kind, you could be the one who pays for the response. Some possible options are, circulating a sympathy card for your coworker since he's obviously depressed about losing, referring him to the mental health counseling program at your work, giving him a cheese basket to go with his whining, send him an invitation or free trial lesson on how to use Photoshop better, a gift subscription to the Limbaugh Letter, etc. You get the idea.
Some more creative practical jokes that have occurred at my work are placing an ad in the local paper advertising free firewood (if that guy burns wood), listing his house on the open house list with the local Real Estate MLS and then putting up open house signs at his house and of course enrolling him in some alternate dating service so that he continues to get lots of unwanted phone calls and contacts.
And, of course, you could always do the Photoshop retaliation. Import a head picture of your coworker on the picture of the guy who set himself on fire on the whitehouse lawn and write a caption about he is so distraught about the election that he wanted to protest. Import his face on that picture of Nicole Sheridan jumping into Terrell Owens arms in the locker room and write a caption about how he is so distressed he's running around in drag and getting a sex change operation, etc.
As you can see, you could have fun with this but could also probably get fired. You might also consider just ask him in private if this is something he really wants to start. Chances are, he won't want to go there and risk his job either.
