Steve BellovinA local pizza place has followed up their "Happy Passover" email with a "Happy Easter" email. (I don't recall any for, say, Eid or Diwali…) The subject line in the Easter email included a dove with an olive branch—fair enough—and a slice of pizza. They knew better than to include a pizza emoji in the Passover email, but it contained a chick emerging from an egg, which makes no traditional or theological sense. OK, there's no proper matzoh emoji, and their pizza has far better than matzoh-like crust, but perhaps four wine cup emojis?
Jonathan Doughty@SteveBellovin businesses have transitioned from sincere wishes to customers whose religions they know and wish to acknowledge to insincere broadcasts hoping to ingratiate themselves. Perhaps businesses need a clue that they’ve crossed a line?
@jwd630 I despise corporate good wishes—there's no human integrity behind them.
