I have to wonder if the reason why the media keeps throwing the word "Papparazzi"(sp?) about
is that they are trying to separate themselves from these sick-o's...even though their
constant use of this tragedy to sell advertising space is exactly the same thing as what
caused it in the first place.  STOP THE MADNESS-DON'T BUY THAT CRAP AND GET OVER YOUR FAME
ADDICTION!

Not so fast!  I hate to stomp on the fun spirit of this thread, but it
seems that a fundamental requirement of representational (vs. abstract)
ascii art is that the represented image be recognizable by most folks
under normal circumstances.  To wit:  Martin's entry is cute, but I
think most folks would not be able to recognize it as a yinyang without
the accompanying explanitory text.  I'm pretty sure yours would be
recognized by most folks who are acquainted with the symbol.

I don't disparage Mr. Rundqvist's wish to entertain...just don't concede
it's a better "take" on the smallest possible representation of a
yinyang!

Now if you can just get that classic yinyang reverse color thing to
work...   B^)

   It is endlessly amazing that so many people that distrust the

There are fonts out there that have a yin-yang as one character!
It's impossible to get smaller then that!

Not in the Ascii standard..
There are many fonts that has trashcans, logos and symbols as characters, but
they are some bytes long each (vectorized images).. and can not be called small,
sorry
