Yeah. I see that it's "supposed" to be laughing.
Isn't that sad?
It really tries to resemble the human act of laughing, but it totally fails.
Like the human-alien-hybrid in the 4th "Alien" movie.
A part of it is human and tries to raise feelings in the observer. (in this case the feeling is "LOL!". Of course i know that "LOL!" isn't a feeling but you get the point)
The other part is unhuman and interpretes the procedure of laughing by copying the gesture and the face-movements.
This results in the skewed grimace you can see when looking at this:
It's just not human.
It's no "laughing".
It's ugly and scary at the same time, and it gets worse as we still CAN interprete this as an act of laughing.
I don't associate this smiley with "LOL!" and i'll never be able to do so.
See how the eyebrows move outwards while "laughing" ?
It's scary and makes you feel uncomfortable. Not amused!
And that's the point why i'll NEVER use this smiley in any thread except this one and i would vote for the execution of this smiley at any time without hesitation!
This one fits better anyway:
