href="http://mashable.com/2010/01/11/nbc-conan-leno-kimmel/">NBC’s blunderous maneuvers, its decision to push back The Tonight Show , and
href="http://mashable.com/2010/01/12/conan-obrien-statement/">Conan O’Brien’s public statement on the matter, Conan fans are using social media avatars to get their point across.
In fact, one man’s

href="http://mashable.com/social-media/facebook">Facebook denizens everywhere. Mike Mitchell created an image, along with an accompanying website and
href="http://www.facebook.com/imwithcoco?ref=search&sid=714437681.305849475..1" target="_blank">Facebook Page, that celebrates Conan and his widely discussed hair. Now Facebookers are showing their support for the late-night funny man by changing their pictures to the COCO image.
Mitchell encourages this communal display of solidarity, which is becoming quite the trend on Facebook and other social networks. TMZ
href="http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/13/conan-supporters-slap-nbc-in-the-facebook/" target="_blank">reports that even people who work for NBC and The Tonight Show are participating in the avatar-changing movement. Apparently even Conan O’Brien himself has seen the image that pays homage to him and his vibrant hair.
So are you with COCO?
