Photoshopped death certificate? What is her Fark handle.

My god just wait until you get some disc time and calm down.

To bad there's no Undo on stupid schemes.

Keep it up. Pretty soon Comic Sans is going to become popular in the publishing underground because popular culture has rejected it. Keep spinning that Ezekiel wheel like an Egyptian slave, not even aware of the design you etch out.

FTFA: A Costa Rican government official later confirmed the document was a fake, noting it dated from 2005.

Excellent policework, Lou, etc..

I'm Comic Sans, Asshole.
BY Mike Lacher

Listen up. I know the shiat you've been saying behind my back. You think I'm stupid. You think I'm immature. You think I'm a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I'm Comic Sans, and I'm the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes farking Gutenberg.

You don't like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don't like that I'm all over your sister-in-law's blog? You don't like that I'm on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I'm pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fark what, Picasso. We don't all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can't all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I'm standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fark up for once.

People love me. Why? Because I'm fun. I'm the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business' website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherfarking spring.

When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I'm banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I'm shredding "Reign In Blood" on my double-necked Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I'm racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters who'll kill me if I don't cross the finish line first. I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.

It doesn't even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I'm famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft farking Bob. I'm in your signs. I'm in your browsers. I'm in your instant messengers. I'm not just a font. I am a force of motherfarking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.

Enough of this bullshiat. I'm gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

I'm not sure if I'm more outraged that they faked it or that the employer required a death certificate for them to take time off for bereavement.

Last semester I took a Communications class (stupid required course) and on the first day the instructor handed out a syllabus that was in comic sans. Every single handout for the whole semester was in that font. It was even one of the acceptable fonts for the final paper.

God I hate comic sans. So glad I'm done with that class.

/I know lame story bro

i really have a dislike of font nerds, it's as irrational as their dislike (or love) of helvetica, but there it is

Egyptian you say?

Except that no publication will be taken seriously that uses that lousy excuse for a font.

Simpsons did it

I like Comic Sans.
But only in the right places.

Forging legal certificates?

She should look on the bright side, now she can take that vacation to Costa Rica with all of her free time!

Just roll her old bones on in here.

/It's school policy you know

I don't see the issue people have with Comic Sans font, Helvetica is your farking enemy.

Who fakes the death of their daughter? That's what uncles are for.

Thanks Bush.

Thanks to you, the economy sucks ass so people have to resort to drastic measures.

I cannot, by definition, take your post seriously.

Let my people eggo.

Could be worse; could be Horatio.

LOL @ "it was dated 2005". Um... WTF?

Actually, bereavement you only get a few days for arrangements. Sounds like she requested a leave of absence which requires a dr note or a death certificate. I know this because I did it once.

/sad story bro

Yeah that sounds about right. And with the 3 day bereavement leave most companies give you the only thing you have to show is a funeral program when you get back. Although I have had friends who's employers refused them leave or made them take paid time off for bereavement.

Dan Gilbert approves.

Bereavement is generally a pretty short leave. I think you're right, most employers will allow a leave of absence but do require some documentation to explain why they can't replace you.

So what is that? Story or point? I'm genuinely curious.

Fake, but accurate.

At least Comic Sans isn't evil like Wingdings...

You know who else liked goofy typography?



(Wingdings & ZapfDingbats)

Comics Sans.. meh. The conformist way of trying to be playful or edgy.

I like to use Tahoma in my e-mail sig just to throw people's eyes off just a bit when the body is in Arial. If you really need to be edgy though, go all the way with Zephyr.

Anonymous Pro is great to make people go a bit nutty. Great for writing code and scripts though.

Only one mention so far of my least favorite font of all time?


I only hate papyrus because I used to think it was the coolest font ever and then so did the entire rest of the world.
