Teddy, a 10-year-old bespectacled Apple fan living in the U.K. has a little issue with the company. He started a petition calling for Apple to redesign the \u201cnerd face\u201d emoji noting that the buck teeth that stand out on the design make it \u201cabsolutely horrible for people wearing glasses.\u201d Talking like a person much older than 10, Teddy added, \u201cThey\u2019re making people think we\u2019re nerds and it\u2019s absolutely horrible. It\u2019s making me feel sad and upset, and if I find it offensive there\u2019ll be thousands of people around the world that find it offensive too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pre-teen spoke with the BBC (via 9to5Mac) and pointed out that he has created his own design for a replacement emoji that he calls the \u201cgenius emoji.\u201d Discussing his redesigned emoji, Teddy says, \u201cIt\u2019s got thin lenses and thin frames\u2026 and then it\u2019s got a little smiley face instead of the horrible rabbit teeth.\u201d Teddy himself has to wear glasses and he says, \u201cI like wearing glasses because they make me see a lot better, and they look good and stylish.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

As far as the petition goes, one of Teddy\u2019s teachers named Lisa was the one who inspired him to start it. \u201cHe\u2019s quite vocal about it but in quite a grown-up way,\u201d Lisa said, \u201cand I think that should be supported, encouraged, and commended as well.\u201d At this moment the circulation of the petition has been limited to Teddy\u2019s school and the town he lives in. But the plan is to launch it online and email it to Apple.<\/p>\n

Apple might be familiar with Teddy only through the coverage of his petition. However, as of now, Apple has been quiet about the whole thing. Teddy does say that if Apple takes his advice and redesigns the \u201cnerd face\u201d emoji he will \u201cfeel amazing\u201d and \u201cso excited.\u201d He first noticed the emoji when he was texting his cousin.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
