It is called faux Cyrillic. In addition to the usage as innocent cool fashion, it is employed intentionally to the evoke eastern Europe and ex-USSR. You may regard it as offensive, but you know people often feel a joke funnier when it is somehow impolite (offensive, blasphemous, discriminative etc.).

By the way, Cyrillic also takes an important role in Japanese smilies. (;゚Д゚)
It tends to ekove my anger..... like people saying s--t like "ching chawng" when referring to chinese people talking, with no respect to dialect, etc.

By the way, that Paul McCartney thing nearly killed me >_<ll
