I'd just like to point out that it's been a slow day at the forums. This should be considered when reading the above post.

I like it. It expresses how I honestly feel on certain occasions.

Talk about Freudian slips. Did you mean to say all those words.

maybe if it actually looked like an arm. most arms have elbows, and I can think of no other body part that has elbows.

have it show an elbow, and perhaps a thumb to avoid any confusion.

I agree that a penis that looks like that thing would be extremely disturbing

Personally I didn't see this smiley as involving a flapping penis until some of our less "pure" brethren insisted, so why should it be banned? The expression on the face is certainly not one that most people would associate with that of someone having an erection (unless, as I've pointed out, that person is rather disturbed). Thje protrusion certainly doesn't remind me of my own member.

Perhaps the problem is similar to a theme once immortalized in song by Randy Newman:

"short people ain't got nobody to love..."

It doesn't look like a penis coming out the side of the smilie, but does look like some poor sod who's bashing the willy

I never realized that this smilie had such an identity problem. But, though it took me a couple minutes I can see the resemblence (and now when I see it, it will forever be fixed in my mind ) But I don't really think it's that bad it needs changed.

Anyway, during my intensive 'search' I found two slightly pinkish streaks underneath the smilie's eyes and it looks like he's crying! (Though next week I bet you'll be saying it's..."something else")

Hey, look what I found. Behind that nasty expression, he just wanted to be friends. Everybody, I'd like you to meet, "Dickface" as he calls himself.

Warning! Explicit close-up of smilie! Over 18 only

The smilie could be considered sexual harrassment.
