True meaning of Apple’s mysterious new emoji has been revealed

[LiberalArkie]

Apple’s new “Eye in Speech Bubble” emoji has mystified us ever since it was first discovered last month, but now that iOS 9.1 is out to the public, we finally know the full story (and meaning) behind the odd new pictogram.

The mystery emoji was fast-tracked by Apple instead of going through the normal Unicode approval process, except the new icon wasn’t even Apple’s idea at all. It was made by the same people that created Smokey the Bear.

The Ad Council — which gave us the “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk” ads, the Crash Test Dummies, Scruff McGruff and more — invented the new eye-in-speech bubble emoji as part of it’s anti-bullying campaign, “I am a witness.”

1. So TIA, instead of something your cable guy does, is now something...

Okay, so maybe it's time to look into MAKING new land somehow. If Alexander the Great can build a land bridge to an island, I can make an island somehow. Hrm.
