I'm just waiting for mainstream media sites to abuse this to put: 20% OFF SUBSCRIBE NOW in the URL of their page.

Edit: HN doesn't support emoji in comments. That was supposed to be surrounded by sirens.

If you ever see emoji in hackernews comments then hackernews, as it has been, is over.

..why? i see comments with ':-)' all the time. are the people here so pretentious that they're fundamentally opposed to using an ideogram?

better hope there aren't any closeted road-signage-designers lurking on HN then

Emojis are too jocular for the tone we are trying to strike here. They lower the level of discourse down to something more like Reddit or Twitter.
