About Those New Smilies...

[nsxtasy]

Am I the only one who thinks that some of the new versions of smilies are really lame, and no longer convey the attitude that ought to be intended?

Here are a few examples and I think you'll see what I mean:

"Eek" - intended to show shock

old version - animated, shows proper shocked attitude

new version - looks like the face of a cartoon insect

"Rolleyes" - intended to show sarcasm

old version - animated, shows proper sarcastic attitude

new version - not sure whether that's a leer or a smirk

"Tongue" - intended to show a teasing attitude

old version - animated, shows proper teasing attitude

:tongue: new version - looks like the smilie had too much to drink

"Big Grin" - intended to show a very happy attitude

old version - animated, shows proper happy attitude

:biggrin: new version - looks like Jerry Lewis, complete with false buck teeth

I agree, but in the interim, guess we will have to plagiarize the old smileys from other forum sites.....

Have to agree with you on this one.

One more round!

The new one reminds me of the character Pat Healy in There's Something About Mary! :biggrin:
