Gimpy Smiley?

So what does everyone think about the idea of the new smiley that was presented in New Smiley thread in the lounge. I am not going to post another link to the smiley as there are plenty in the thread I just mentioned. Vote and let me know what everyone thinks.

I think it is kind of ugly but if everyone likes it I will add it atleast for a trial trial run.

It's kind of amusing, I always like to see lots of smilies, but never really use them anymore.

It isn't as bad as the banana so you might as well add it. :banana:

I voted no because I think that the expression it's meant to convey isn't obvious.

I don't like it. It's kinda ugly and it doesn't fit in with the other smileys. Also, I agree with InfoGeek that the expression/emotion it is supposed to convey is not obvious.

Let it be there. It is better to have a multitude of choices. If anybody doesn`t like it he/she doesn`t have to use it.

But they have to look at it. Or poke their eyes out with a sharp stick.

I see that you have survived, david, although having bombarded your eyes with the emoticon(emotion icon) so thats a good chance we all will survive.

I think the dancing banana is uglier, personally.

Oh, and Infogeek: What is the obvious expression for the dancing banana?
