Please could we have a "Pom bear, anyone?" smiley?

It would be used on awkward or angry threads in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Or failing that I'll settle for a [turps] emoticon.

JarethThePomBearKing · 13/11/2010 00:49

[scowl] at whoever suggested [pombear] should just be a Christmas emoticon.

Come on, give us a Pombear. We never got the penguin one.

TheBolter · 13/11/2010 09:19

Please? Funnily enough, I was chuckling at Pom Bears yesterday in Asda, thinking how funny they were! Guaranteed to raise a smile!

PomBearMartini · 13/11/2010 10:15

Humph. I maintain that the notion of a limited edition PomBear is entirely feasible (I may have had too many Martinis though)

I just thought maybe any objections to an ever-growing list of smileys might be overridden if we just had it for a while.

Hee! look at meeeeee!

We can really milk this, you know.

PomBears should pay MN for the advertising...

Backs the Pombear emoticon campaign

SlightlyJaded · 13/11/2010 12:05

Actually, what would be ideal would be a 'Pom Bear Anyone?' emoticon for diffusing awkward moments/ugly bun fights (see scenario 1) and a cuckoo clock or bottle of turps emoticon to imply bonkers posting.

But perhaps the fame is all going to my head and I am getting greedy.

Or not.

I think I may demand my own personal MN branded 3 bedroom trailer, complete with plasma screen sized internet permanently linked to MN, a fridge full of nice ham and no less than 10 crystal bowls which must be filled with Pom Bears which have to be replaced every hour.

PennyPomBear · 13/11/2010 16:08

Another vote here, yes please!!Grin

LynetteScavo · 13/11/2010 16:21

Obviously we need a pom bear smiley - but surely MN Towers are going to have to do a deal with Intersnack Limited? And these things don't just happen over night you know!

mypombearisveryold · 13/11/2010 16:40

Another vote here. I was laughing at my desk all morning yesterday. [pombear]
