instate the "poop with a face" emoji as the official irony mark for use in texts, Facebook posts, emails, etc.

Created by A.C. on November 26, 2013

English language speakers across the country have come to realize a desperate need for a universal marker to symbolize when sarcasm is being conveyed through any form of social networking/digital media. Today, we believe that we have finally found the perfect icon for that job: the "poop with a face" emoji. For the past few years, emojis have been used to convey what words cannot adequately say. What better medium, then, for us to look to for a new form of punctuation? All we want is to be able to place the "poop with a face" emoji at the end of a text or a Facebook post and sleep soundly knowing that our friends and loved ones will not mistake our sarcastic, "No one cares," for a mean-spirited, "No one cares." Please, Mr. President, cease these awkward miscommunications, once and for all.
