btw., Final update today.
Affronted by an emoji it seems!
I did a quick pop quiz here in the office, not many people but I showed a few different age groups of people asking them what the alleged emoji means. I basically got a three main categories, drunken wink, raspberry wink, nudge nudge wink, not one person thought it meant some weird licking wink or panting tongue lapping wink.
I suppose I now have to assume Rush is devilishly clever, picked just the right emoji to send an suggestive and offensive yet ambiguous message! Alternative is the girl a moron or a gold digger, could they both be in it for profit!
Maybe Rush wins his defamation case, then makes quiet restitution with the girl as an apology for an unfortunate yet otherwise simple misunderstanding, must I be so cynical! If I hadn't worked for so long at the newspapers, with the connected behind the scenes insights, I'd look at this whole episode far more innocently.
They are all potentially profiting, even the newspaper, they are probably making more additional money right now than they will ever have to pay out, and it's a very uncomfortable feeling!
Bye ...................... no alternate meaning intended!
