Olympic emoticons

[difficultpickle]

Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn't find a thread.

Where are they? Shouldn't they be here now or are you waiting until this evening?

Are we allowed? I thought everything Olympic was under strict regulation.

Hadn't thought of that. I'm sure Tech could do some sort of artistic, not regulation-breaking, interpretation.

No, def not allowed. And from the moment that the cauldron is lighted in the stadium, MN is actually having to withdraw the and emoticons because being round and flat and yellow is in violation of the copyright status of the gold medal.

MN has also undertaken not to permit anyone to post five in a row, since this is deemed to be too evocative of the Olympic rings.

Couldn't MN do them and just keep it secret? Only those in the know can use as it isn't on the list. We could do the same for the Olympics.

Poor Tech , he's got enough on his plate without having to deal with secret Olympic emoticons.

I bet Justine still hasn't agreed to pay for him to move out of his horrid, damp, cold shed and into a luffly warm/air-con'd office with a drinks fridge yet .

He is too busy working on the 'kitten emoticon' hopefully.

Or SillyBeardyDaddy's raspberry emoticon?

Also, look at the MN logo...

Erm, hello

Enjoy!

Ooo fab fab fab

Thanks, Helen. We knew you wouldn't let us down.

How rude of me. Please thank Tech and give him a and a

I'm starting a countdown now to see how long it will be before somebody 'cleverly' uses the torch as a flaming emoticion.

Sssshhhhh!

Hellenic, would Zombie be correct that the logo and the torch emoticon were released at 20.12 this evening?

Ooo fancy schmancy.

LOVE the olympic torch emoticon - and that MN's logo is holding one! Very good.

You could maybe turn the smileys into gold medals as well, if you felt like it, you know, if you're not too busy...

"maybe turn the smileys into gold medals as well" - nah... a step too far, for those of us who will be cheering on Team GB in spirit, but have 200+ hours of comedy, drama, wildlife, etc on TV or DVD, to fill the next month or more with ways to avoid news from London. (Has been a long time since I've actually watched local or national news too, so really easy to avoid O news too).

just testing
