Maria Bailey's Final Statement in Comic Sans

Deleted User wrote: »

Comic Sans is a nice font. Much nicer to read than somethimg ugly and dull like Times New Roman.

It's a grand font for something light hearted. For official documents it looks ridiculous.

Internet forum goes bananas over font! It must be Friday!

Times New Roman is the business font.

Calibri is far easier on the eye

Times New Roman was for the 90s

Just a typical Fine Gaeler really.

Don't ya mean "type-ical"?

I like comic sans and still use it whenever I feel like it. **** the designers who think it's passe. It was once a very popular font to use because people liked it. Then we were told it's not nice and we believed it.
I do however change the kerning between glyphs 3, 7 and 8 just to be idiocentric.

I wouldn't be surprised if she ran as an independent now.

I found it hilarious that her latest bulletin dropped through the letterbox last night while all this is going on. Going for the sympathy card too with a picture of her with her late father front and centre.
There's a whole page dedicated to the environment and recycling, yet the bulletin is printed on environmentally unfriendly heavy colour card (at least 300gsm).

He was a bigger crook than she is so god knows what she’s trying to do putting his face on anything. Anyway good riddance to bad rubbish, she deserved everything she got. I’m sure the Indo will keep tabs on her and anytime she appears attached to a new venture or event they’ll make sure the public don’t forget that’s she’s a fraudulent greedy liar.

She could, if she likes being made fun of and laughed out of it at every second door.
Best bet is the Senate, retirement home for failed politicians.

In the pre word processor days, the font would be akin to writing a statement in crayolas.

But nobody ever liked it!

Some people used it back in the 90's because, when it was introduced with windows 95 etc it was "different" and they thought it made their documents/posters look "hip" compared to the boring, standard fonts. But, to the majority of people, it just made it look like the document/poster was composed by a child.

We live in a world where outrage is the currency most people deal in. Facebook, twitter and all the other dumb social media outlets are all about outrage. It saves you from getting off your hole and doing anything about it.

Nah, it's not outrage, it's mocking.

Comic Sans is the font that someone technologically inept uses and then stands back thinking what a great job they've done, how they could charge a fraction of the price to do up professinal flyers.

It's a running joke that when someone uses comic sans for anything, especially if they're trying to make it look "fun", then you're dealing with a clueless technophobe.

Maria Bailey went one further and wrote a formal public press release, on headed paper emblazoned with an official harp...in comic sans.

It's not outrage, just a mixture of slagging and outright disbelief that anyone could be such a simpleton.

...if I had my way, twitter would be done away with

It’s a font.

That’s all.

There is nothing wrong with being technically inept, or not up to date on Some aspects of IT, it doesn’t make anyone a simpleton, I’m sure there are areas of IT that you and I have no clue about.

The sad thing is that it’s nowhere near as important as what she actually did, something that should be looked into as insurance fraud, something that should be dealt with legally and have criminal Repercussions, but people seem to be more worried about an irrelevant font than what actually happened.
