This is not a joke. Boyband fans you can now send emojis of the Backstreet Boys to each other!

The emoji keyboard is available for download in the app store for $1.99. You can send a cartoon version of each of the band members to each other along with other fun song lyric messages in the form of a graphic. Look for graphics representing 'Shape of My Heart,' 'The Call,' and more!

How fun is this? Can you imagine if we had had these things in 1999, instead of having to text each other using the numerical keypad on our brick phones?!?
