Ellen DeGeneres talks with the animals What is it about avatars that is so damn creepy? Is it that they never quite look like the person they are meant to depict? (Except maybe the Jesus avatar, because really, who’s to say?) While I ponder that, you can check out the Ellen DeGeneres avatar, pictured here, that is part of a new effort featuring the comedienne/talk show host from American Express. It features lots of animals and the opportunity to create a small clip featuring the Ellen avatar and the animals, although what it all has to do with American Express, well—not to be redundant—but who’s to say? —Posted by Catharine P.

Ellen Degenerate makes me sick. She's an attention starved puppy. She needs to go away - quickly - and yet - we can't get away from her. She is to pop culture what Michael Jackson is to little boys. Whatever that means.

so she touches pop culture inappropriately? Hmmm...
Hopefully pop culture will be able to break the vicious cycle. I'll keep pop culture in my prayers.

They're funny spots that people will enjoy watching for the entertainment value.

Just not sure if the take-away is AmEx or Ellen. I suspect Ellen in which case AmEx just spent millions to promote Ellen De G.

I Love Ellen's Show. I think your just jealous because she was able to make it big.
I also think you have personal issues about her choice of sexual preferences. Remember don't judge people if you don't want to be judged. There is no comparison between Michael Jackson and Ellen whatsoever. She is not harming anyone. All she does is try to make people laugh.
