Does the New Dork Times teach that obnoxiously verbose, self-indulgent writing style?

well, someone might think you’re “making an image of Muhamed” and come cut your head off. By the way, I made an image of Muhamed this morning, and I felt much relieved afterwards.

There's an emoticon for that!

That was my saving grace, that photo right there, if not for that I think I would have felt I lost an point in brain power after reading this crap, for those kinds of folks I stay the heck away from these people for the are not only stuck on stupid but hung up on something so trivial.

Oh, Good Grief. . . Apple is beta testing racially diverse emojis. . . a solution in search of a problem. . . and Asians are already upset about the ones with a slight yellow cast to the skin! LOL! — PING!

Apple RACIST (?) EMOJIS Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

My Asian wife looked at the little characters, and said if anyone is offended by them, they need to get out more, they obviously have too much time on their hands. She is right.

It looks like American Indians, Native Americans, First Nations, Injuns, Redskins, etc would have a bigger beef with this collection.
