Since others are handling the arguments over technical and stylistic aspects, I will comment on another problem with the Facebook dedesign:
Pokemon was not yet popular in 1997. The anime scene was all about Ranma, Slayers, Evangelion, Techni Muyo, and whatever movie had aired on the Sci-Fi channel the past Saturday. Sailor Moon was running on TV and was very popular but we tried to forget about that. Of course, the user could be from Japan where Pokemon had been running for half a year, or they could have gotten a sub off Usenet, but Pokemon did not get popular in the English-speaking world until the dub was aired later in the decade.
