Default Can we have a bitchslap icon/label voted by users and applied by moderators???

I ask this totally un-PC question because as I read more and more about UK vendors coming out officially and saying that you can indeed get the Nexus on the 17th, I feel like going back to all those threads where people started bitching about Google being this and Samsung being that, without exercising any real thought applied with patience. Evidently the launch (everyelse but the Americas I'm guessing) hasn't been botched as (I'm paraphrasing) many have said. The Americas... well, I think we've come to understand that Verizon is playing hardball.

Even though I can't be bothered to go through the threads, the are plenty of others where people start flaming companies, others forum users, self-flaming for erotic pleasure, whatever.

This bitchslap icon/logo is not a ban or a warning for bad language. It's more just, "please, stop being a petulant baby."

LOL. I agree a bitchslap icon would be fun.

However, on the topic of the launch, i would say the bitchslap icon should be used only after the 17th if its proven there is wide general availability of the GNexus. I still think there are e-tailers advertising misleading dates. Just today Clove confirmed to a user (posted somewhere on the gnexus thread) that they didnt know when stock would actually arrive and they may not be able to ship till w/c 21st even though their web site still says 17th.

So when can we start B-slappin' folks 'cuz I've seen a few I'd like to throw some baby powder on for. I would also love to see this implemented elsewhere on the web. especially the ones that seem unbiased mobile sites when they are clearly *phone users who have no idea what they are talking about.
