I can imagine a Relying Party advertising that "When you create your 
account, we will take your username and some of the informatio you 
provided to us (about your name, DoB, interests, etcetera), and plug 
that into Google looking for a profile image. We may find an image 
of, or related to, you . . . probably, we will not! Your profile 
image is neither chosen by you nor may you choose to have us generate 
another one, and if any outsider makes the foolish assumption that 
they are looking at a picture of YOU, they will only lead themselves 
further astray from your true identity."

Probably one of those humor sites ;)
