Interesting Text Message responses after Facebook Ban

After Facebook was blocked in Pakistan, I received a really interesting text message from a friend. That text message has a line mimicking Facebook's notification like:
"So and so has tagged a photo of you".
Below that, there was a picture of donkey drawn in ASCII characters.

I shared it with few of my friends to see how they get it during that time. I received quite different types of responses. I'm posting few of them here.

That's the text message I sent:
Knonie Dost has tagged a photo of you...

 (\./)
 /.".)"^----;";_
 \,,/"( ,     ,   ) \
       //\\ //\\

:-P

Few of the responses are listed below. I have changed the real names to initials for privacy reasons.
