A few enterprising Twitter users have decided to embrace the dreaded blue line by incorporating it into their avatars:
Guys, I changed my avatar to a blue line on light background. Because I don't need to stand out in conversations. pic.twitter.com/voxuMNaBbI

@nachimir Wow, lovely. Also David I want to converse with you more so I can see how this blue line avatar gag works

What if we got every Twitter user to change their avatar to the #BlueLine? Quick, someone start a http://t.co/qlnyPa39wm petition.

It looks like Gabe Rivera is going to take it one step further:
@sacca YES. Finally, an easy AND original costume.
