I like the new angry, blush, sad & envy ones, but not the wink or the drunk smiley (though the drunk smiley might be very useful as an extra for late night threads!)

yes fox I suspect it is someone who doesn't like them who is behind it all
they just want to make us all look like deranged loons every time we use them

doesn't look right at all - it's turquoise

sad should be a dull blue

BoysAreLikeDogs · 30/05/2008 15:58

Oh dear Lord! I just refreshed my page and I'm with Franny.

Put them back! Put them back!

LL I reckon he's in the middle of changing you watch it will be purple in a minute.

southeastastra · 30/05/2008 15:59

looks like it's just done a marathon.

is quite sinister

Ledodgy · 30/05/2008 16:00

his slapped cheek is clearing up but it's still wrong, worng , worng!

SaintGeorge · 30/05/2008 16:00

Envy looks angry .
Wink looks as if it is in pain .
Sad looks ill .
Grin seems to be wearing a brace now .
Smile is cross eyed .
Shock appears to be sucking on a dummy, or wearing a horrible black lipstick .
Blush, I suspect, has just had a bit of an accident requiring Tenalady .

doesn't seem to have changed though.

On reflection, old ones back please

Ledodgy · 30/05/2008 16:01

See it's even making me spell wrong worng!

sakurarose39 · 30/05/2008 16:01

Good heavens!!
nearly had a heart attack....

ffs, they are awwwwwful!!!

Ledodgy · 30/05/2008 16:02

I can see BT now feet up on desk eating his crunchie (it's Friday doncha know) and phsl fiddling with his technical knobs.

southeastastra · 30/05/2008 16:02

is growing on me

Dalrymps · 30/05/2008 16:02

Yes pleeeeeease put them back, the old smile was a kind one, now it's manic!
In fact the old ones were all innocent and friendly and the new ones are just crazy.
I'm always thinking there should be more of them actually so if you want to make a change add some more DON'T CHANGE THEM!

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2008 16:03

I was just coming on to say my had turned into a knife wielding maniac!
I thought it was the lunchtime drinking

OsmosisBanana · 30/05/2008 16:03

they look the same to me

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2008 16:03

(theirs, not mine)

sakurarose39 · 30/05/2008 16:04

I'm just about to go to bed - shall have nightmares now!!
they'd better be back to normal by the time I get up in the morning

MarsLady · 30/05/2008 16:04

I think it's a ploy to make us stop using them!

(Refresh your page and you'll see the full horror)
