Adding emotion to posts

I might be late to the game with this one, but that wouldn't be the first time. Why is it that we haven't developed a system (besides the occasional smiley) for indicating our true meaning when speaking in text. For instance, if I call my co-worker an A-Pipe, in the right way. he will surely understand that I am screwing around. On the internet, if I respond to someone and say "Hey A-Pipe, why don't you die" it could be taken pretty seriously. So we need a system. I began thinking about this on my "Everybody's grammar is worse than mine" post which turned out to be my most popular acheivement ever.

My proposed new system utilizes colors to help us clarify our true intentions.



Black - This is used for matter-of fact stuff. An example would be "Last night I saw a meteor shower. It was pretty sweet."
Green - This is used for sarcasm, or tongue-in-cheek statements. An Example would be "Z-Man is a dingus for removing that super booby picture". You see, now you know that I probably don't really think Z-Man is a dingus, but I wanted to just 'josh' him around.
Blue - This is used for sadness. Pretty self-explanatory.
Pink - This is used for being a whiney beeotch. Those who should write eveything in pink, you know who you are.
Red - This is used for raging, seething anger.
Orange - This is used for super exciting stuff, like when you are talking about how awesome this post is.
Gray - This is used to see if you are totally super badass and know how to find hidden treasures like this. When things are hidden, maybe Z-Man can't find naughty words like POOPY, PEENIS, VAGINAL ACTION, etc.
