Actually, that is a character from the hilarious Hollywood moving picture called "Tropic Thunder" with that particular character being played by the wonderful and talented Mr. Robert Downey Jr., who happens to be Caucasian. With the use of makeup and hair experts, Mr. Downey was able to play the role of a Caucasian Australian playing an African American. Mr. Downey won an Academy Award for his role that challenged racial boundaries and stereotypes. Or maybe because it was just funny.

Okay, so Wagner has that character as his avatar. Is he trying to fake people out to think that he's black? Is there some deep meaning to have as an avatar a movie character who is a white man playing black man and now is an avatar for a white man? Dun, dun, dun! I don't think so but if he is, in the interest of full disclosure everyone must know that I am not a cartoon Rottweiler. Please forgive me for the deception.

Sometimes an avatar is just an avatar.
