Thanks to boobob for this hilarious short for all you font and publication freaks out there:

"You have two minutes. For every minute after that, Courier and Curlz MT will lose one of their serifs!"

"You all deserve this for conforming. I'm in a roomful of sheep." LOL!

Given your line of work, I thought you'd appreciate this. One of my best friends is a graphic designer and I sent the vid-link to her too. She and I once spent part of a day in a cemetery so she could do paper rubbings of different types of old letter characters on tombstones (18th and 19th centuries) that she thought were interesting.

Why are we talking about the Gay/Straight thing exclusively in regards to tournaments/leagues that have what many are calling "discriminatory rules"?Why aren’t we asking about the "Women’s Only Leagues?" (Gender Discrimination) What about the "Men’s Only Leagues?’ (Gender Discrimination)What about the rules that govern "Co-ed" leagues? (Gender Discriminiation) What about tournaments that require a player to be 50 years or older? (Age Discrimination)What about the tournaments that require you to be 18 or under? (Age Discrimination) What about the tournament that asks me for the card that identifies me as Native American? (Race Discrimination)What about the rule that says I can’t be a B level player and play in the D division with my friends? (Skill Discrimination?)What about limiting who can play because of where they live. (I.E. "Have to be a state resident to play in the state finals") (geographic discrimination?) :O) The point is, EVERY tournament that I have EVER played in - Metro/GSWS/Local/National, etc - has rules, that if looked at, can be easily identified as some sort of exclusivity/discrimination. By the way, Gay Games does have sports catagories by gender and age - if this is supposed to be the 21st century and everyone wants to compete "against the best" why seperate people by divisions, gender or skill level? Seems to me that this (GSWS, Womens or Men’s Nationals, Senior Tournaments- and all the others) are an ideal way to bring groups of people together that share a common community (or interest). If y’all wanna argue it - why not look outside of the little gay/straight box (NAGAAA)and talk about making sweeping changes across all sports.
