Yellllppp!

The new smileys are fine, they just mean different things.

= fuckwit
= I have a coat hanger stuck in my mouth
= now I've stuck it my eye
= can't post I'm blowing dp
= possessed by the devil
= have I overdone the rouge?
= smurf bumsex (ie till blue in the face)
= aliens have landed

I've spent the last 2 days in rl where everyone was a whole lot less frightening than the new smileys.

In fact, they're scarys, not smileys.

I really want to at that WT

DottyofArc · 30/05/2008 16:09

Huh??? mine look exactly the same - is that because I refuse to use anything but 'classic'?

Threadwworm · 30/05/2008 16:11

Do a Ctrl Refresh. Then suddenly they all look psychotic.

StealthPolarBear · 30/05/2008 16:12

EffiePerine · 30/05/2008 16:14

LOLOL WT

EffiePerine · 30/05/2008 16:14

and why are they all cross-eyed?

the colours are hurting my eyesssss

Threadwworm · 30/05/2008 16:15

The wink used to express wry scepticism. Now it looks like a lewd chat-up.

I can't do MN without a proper wink.

EffiePerine · 30/05/2008 16:16

this is all a SIGN that we should stop using the bloody things and become more articulate

CombustibleLemon · 30/05/2008 16:22

Oh FFS they are vile. Truly vile. Why would you get rid of the existing ones and replace them with an inferior version.

I'm not using them anymore.

SummatAndNowt · 30/05/2008 16:24

WOAH!! WHY???

Actually, I quite like new angry.

But what's with the eyes?? WHY does wink need to look at it's own wink??

popsycal · 30/05/2008 16:24

oh god
they are horrible

TolpuddlapinMartyrs · 30/05/2008 16:24

LOOK! This is all your fault! This is what happens when Mummy freaks out about horrid MN smileys and leaves a 2 year old near a box of felt tips!

SummatAndNowt · 30/05/2008 16:25

its
