Thumbs-up somebody died?

I really think you should take a serious look at the Thumbs-up-emoticon used for news items and replace it with something else (like NEWS or whatever)

It doesn't look too good when there's a thumbsup thumbs up! followed by Columbia native, Prince drummer's daughter drowns in pool

Now does it?

Good call, but I think we should keep it on stand-by for the `smiling man attacked by large white thumb` news-story should it happen.

It's a default icon that's used for all the news items, it's not something that's intentionally placed next to the stories to show our "approval" or "enthusiasm" of the story's content by any means. Maybe Ben should replace it with a star or a little light bulb or somethin, I dunno.
