Like all my good icons, the Creepy Little Fucker icon was made by someone else. In this case, Boniblithe, who has quite the eye for the distressing smile. I've never even seen Full Metal Alchemist (though, god, I want to, just from the title alone) and I was disturbed by this to the point where I had to make it mine own. You can never have too many creepy smiles around, I find.

And you shouldn't worry too much about finding embarrassment humor in this LJ; you and Torch and I should band together to form Slashers Against Embarrassment FF. I can't speak for Torch, but my problem with it stems from, yes, way too much empathy for the character humiliated. I don't laugh; I cringe, because usually I've done that same thing, and if not I can all too easily see it in my future.
