If you are changing your icon to green, please also include a link to this article or one like it explaining the reason for doing so.
I keep seeing people change their icon to the green screen to show support, but please realize that a good 90% of the people on Facebook and beyond are clueless as to why you have done so. So in the info of your new green profile pic please include a link to an article on it and a line to the effect of “Yes I have changed my icon to green, yes it has to do with something you should know about, please read this: http://thebigsocialpicture.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/the-oscar-protest-that-you-didnt-know.html “ That way you are showing support and helping clue in other people to what is going on, helps support the artists who you are trying to help.

Downton Abbey: Season Four, Episode One
Shouts & Murmurs - We got our hands on a working copy of the script for Episode One/Season Four of “Downton Abbey,” or, the worst Badger Counting Day the Dowager Countess ever knew: http://nyr.kr/ZH1G3S
This script is beautiful, touching, and poignant. I think it really gets to the heart of what this series is all about. Read it and you’ll know what I mean.
