Criticism
The Firefly has garnered criticism for several issues since its release. Some parents have complained about overly cute designs that do not "grow" with the child, although Firefly Mobile now offers several new face plates with a "cool" look. Many have also pointed to the "Mom" and "Dad" buttons, which are reminiscent of bathroom signs, and depict "Mom" in a ball gown. Firefly offers no alternative button overlays to reflect families that are not nuclear, such as in a mother and grandmother household, single-parent household, or same-sex parents.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
