If we ignored it, it wouldn't be news.

By linking this to your forum... you are making news where there shouldn't be any.

You are part of the problem.

It's already news. Calling out the ridiculousness of the PC bullshit going on in this country is certainly worthy of sharing. Unless, of course, you think we should all just bury our heads in the sand.

How come only the white guys on here think this is PC crap?

Because black people never use bleach?

Sounds like a whitewash.

When the bruthas in our fraternity passed out, we'd use White Out instead of Sharpies to write on them.

News where? Obscure message boards frequented by ignorant rightwing Rush dicksuckers?

Apple should answer the fucking question. I would love a bleach emoji.

The second worst, barely, part of that story is the revelation such an international body of, presumably, adults exists:

In a looming update to the emoji system (for non-Apple devices), a non-profit organization called the Unicode Consortium that regulates emojis among other computer text, is considering 37 candidates for new emoticons could be added as part of a code update scheduled for June.

Yes, wikipedia is my source on this, and what an incredibly unimportant thing to get riled up over. This is beyond pathetic. Derek is right, our country has lost its fucking mind.

Maybe sharpton and Jackson can get in touch with Obama to get advice on community organizing and start a protest outside of Clorox and DEMAND justice.

This appears to have the ability to tear at the very threads of America.

Some needs to fired!
