When future anthropologists study America in the 21st century and its rapid decline, they will no doubt better understand its code of values (or lack thereof) by examining the symbols and ideas that captured the spirit of the time the things that we held dear.
In every generation, there are icons that sum up its core values not official ones, but symbols that really mean something to people: Rosie the Riveter, the American flag, Elvis Presley, the motorcycle jacket, the defeatist peace sign and now the tyrannical Coexist bumper sticker. There are symbols that sum up the zeitgeist of a time, a generation.
The popular emoticon found on phones today, of a happily smiling pile of excrement, is just that. It best exemplifies the low state of the world, of the culture, and of America itself in the age of the primitive. It signifies Americas rapid decay in the wake of the lefts decades-long war on Americanism, freedom and individual rights. The absence of morality and by morality, I mean a code of values has led to an absence of the good. And an abundance of poo.

Mr. Hankey rides again!
HI-dee-ho!
I must travel in different circles than most of my American brethren.
I have never seen this emoticon before.
I had to look that up. I’m not a South Park fan. After looking up info on Mr. Hankey, I’m still not.
After reviewing some graphics of Mr. Hankey, it’s worse than I thought.
Minds full of mush? No, minds full of poo. (FR is a family site.)
I have it on good authroirty that that icon was based on the likeness of rapper Scoop Doggie Poop!
Matt & Trey should sue.
I was surprised when I saw it in my ‘phone’s emojis.
Vulgar, but not wholly unexpected.
Idiocracy is a documentary.
Yep!
You are not alone.
Fortunately we have not missed anything and I think our lives will be just fine without it.
“You smell just like flowers.”
"... And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn't just for fags and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!"
It actually originated in Japan. I never imagined depicting...well you know what like that, but ever since it seems obvious.
I’d say Japan is weird, but it’s become so commonly used by my fellow Gen Yers that I can’t really claim the ability to judge.
My queation is “What is it used FOR”?
