Although I will give a brief shout-out to Microsoft for caving in to the demands of complete raving lunatics, and replacing the oh-so-ominous translation of "NYC" into Wingdings as
(Which clearly means Microsoft's basic mission statement is "Death to Jews: Thumbs Up!") into the nice, pleasant, inoffensive and entirely deliberate new Webdings version:
NYC. I suppose that could be any city, but point taken, Microsoft. You've learned to stop encoding your messages of hate in in your completely useless fonts. (Are there people out there who like, know which symbol goes to which letter, so when they want to include some kind of fucked up bug thing they just type "k" in Webdings [k]? If so, why?) Anyway, I look forward to a new Windows security patch that makes subtle changes to my registry that spells "Hitler" in ASCII.
Penn Jillette wrote something pretty funny about it, including his own interpretation of the symbols:
He's pretty angry about it too, which you know we like around here. Nothing like a nice self-righteous fury at dumbasses.
