That being said, Mackey is old enough to know better.

However, I am someone who hasn't bothered to open a resume sent to me because a smiley face was inserted into the body of the email. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Definitely not a derp sigh. Only derp can do derp.
It was a 'I remember when I was young and I thought my opinion was more important that everyone else's' sigh.
