I was once told a male shouldn't ever use an emoji. I completely disagree with that statement.

Emojis are fun to use and I actually believe that they add to a text message and can actually show emotion in what is otherwise a very flat kind of communication.

One emoji that will be reportedly added to the new ios update is "the bird," also known as the middle finger.

According to Tech Insider, it has been confirmed that bird will be included in the new update. Who will be the first person you send this emoji to and does this all of a sudden make every iPhone or i-anything not kid friendly?
