All the latest facts and opinions you need to know! Avatars can be from fictional depictions of news reports in TV & Media or actual news broadcasts or newspaper headlines. They needn't be current either; if you want to depict headlines or reporters from 2001 or 1921 I'll allow it.

Well what are you waiting for? Enter now!
