California REALTORS now have their own emojis

Red Tettemer O'Connell + Partners have created CARmojis. That's c.a.r. as in California Association of REALTORS. It's available in the app store now. There's an obvious question to be asked here which is why? As in why would I want to California Realtor emojis? I can't think of a reason at all. In terms of just a PR stunt I guess it gets their name out, but it's kind of a pointless exercise.

Judging by the reviews of the app, the only people who like it are realtors. No-realtor people are not happy with the idea that in order to use the app, one must give it access to everything. Take this review for instance by Tulabelle:

"Help me understand why one MUST agree to give up their privacy when agreeing to use this APP?! By agreeing you tell them they can use ANYTHING you have ever typed including credit card numbers and private communications. You think you have a reasonable right to privacy but your (sic) agreeing take it away!!!!!!"

Not a good look, C.A.R.
