It seems silly, although I know I am being rather silly myself,

BUT, these smilie icons are meant to depict human faces.. They would instantly become more real if they had ears..

Anyone agree with me?
And are they meant to be balled. the whole lot of em???!

This could be found sexist, or racist considering the jewish head has hair, or hair out of the ears ;j , either way, its still hair..

Just stating the obvious..

Well, since a couple of Jewish posters like and use the second one, I doubt that we'll take too much flak on it. (Except from ChiefScott, of course.
