Why does the smiley face look like a pervert?

Seriously. Have you looked at it closely? What is wrong with Wordpress? Why do the smiley faces on my posts look like a f*cking pervert? I have never seen a smiley face with arched eyebrows like these…

Tell me they don’t look sinister. I mean, come on.

Even Google’s smileys, though I do consider them to be on the dunce side, can be said to convey cuteness, or at least attempt to.

I now feel extremely self-conscious when I leave a comment on other people’s blogs and I want to add a smiley to convey my friendliness:

“I come in peace. I mean you no harm.” And by the way, here is what I look like when I am saying this, smiling:

Whoa. I scare myself just looking at it. Now my comment looks like a death threat from a psychotic serial killer. Great.

I agree. To me smiley always looked like he’s about to stab me, cook me and eat me for dinner. I always use :))

Thank you! I need to add your praise to my “Proof I am not crazy” page as “Testimonies!” Although I started out thinking, “I’m just doing this for myself,” but of course, sometimes I do wonder whether anybody reads it… So thank you for the kind words!
