emoji
Emoji are ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and web pages. It is an extremely popular form of communicating within the online environment.
The latest cringey deep-fried meme to start trending has us wondering what would happen if we "accidentally" kissed in various real and fictional locales. The meme started back in 2018 but really gained traction in late March, with memers going ultra meta and ironic with the format. Here are some of the best examples of this arguably stupid meme.
The internet bore witness to some serious emoji controversy this week over an emoji that doesn't actually exist. Twitter user @mioog tweeted a crossed out pride flag, later claiming that he had found it in Apple's code. The tweet inspired more tweets, some claiming it was an Apple creation, and others making jokes that were pro-LGBT. As can be expected, there were also many, many memes. It was soon revealed on Reddit that the emoji is actually a combination of Unicode characters, and not, in fact, a sinister homophobic emoji of Apple's creation. This comes as a relief, and allows us to enjoy some of the dumb memes that have come out of this internet debacle. I can't wait until this unicode gets expanded to political posts. Oh the chaos that will ensue. But while dreaming about the mayhem a simple computer writing code could cause, check out this dark web-comic that has taken the web by storm, and been made a viral meme overnight.

Screen Junkies is back with another hilarious Honest Trailer, and this time they're listening to their fans' demand for them to "feature" The Emoji Movie. And we're glad they accepted the challenge. It's not every day that a film is likened to "Taco Bell through a human centipede" but we plan on reusing that descriptor - often.
