Don't know the story behind it's purchase, but I do know that's Vince Russo, a hack wrestling writer. The smilie is used not infrequently in PSP to mock terrible writing.

Is former great Bills running back Thurman Thomas, from Techmo bowl
is Donovan McNabb and his award winning smile
is for when a Patriots fan is being insufferable
is mocking Peyton Manning's "manningface", generated from a goldmined thread I was a part of: 
I don't know if this started in SAS but posters use it to reference Wade Phillips, because he looks like that
didn't start in TFF but is used when referencing the Wildcat formation
Is for when Ben Roethlisberger does something stupid (Psyduck with a steeler helmet)
Penalty flag

Since a wrestling one has been explained, I guess I'll explain another. During an episode of WWE Raw back in 2003, out of nowhere during a backstage segment the TV audience heard presumably a technician say "Camera 6, you are the worst case scenario" (or something on those lines). It caused debate as to what the guy was talking about for a while. The popular theory is Camera 6 was assigned as the camera they cut to if something unfortunate or disastrous happens (like how WWE cut to crowd shots when Owen Hart fell from the rafters). It's commonly used whenever a technical gently caress-up happens on a wrestling program by using "Camera 6" as a scapegoat.

I remember reading the thread where this one was bought  . It's meant to be patronizing and sarcastic already, as it looks like those run-of-the-mill emoticon packages you used to see advertised everywhere.So I didn't understand why, very soon after, this one started appearing  .So now it's like a "double" burn when you use it? I don't know. I would like to know where this one is from, because I burst out laughing the first post I saw it.  vvvvvvv - Ahahaha, awesome. I never did play that one. Thanks!

Captain Lavender posted:I remember reading the thread where this one was bought You know how in the English language there are several words that all mean essentially the same thing, only slightly different? Same thing applies here. The first one would be more of a 'You did this menial task? , rear end in a top hat!' type situation. The second one would be more of a 'Teapartiers equate Obama to Hitler? Keep it up, idiots 'So yeah, basically it's sarcasm with an added ', you drooling moron' at the end there. This was a terrible explanation, goddamn.

I think in my mind, it showed up so soon after the first one, that I figured people misunderstood the first one as an actual "Good Job" smiley, and wanted a negative version.

 was always my favorite. It's so relate-able and can be used for so many things. It still cracks me up when I see it in the right context.Is there any good story for it, or did it just come about naturally because it's such a common feeling?
