Okay okay, so Arial is bad news. But what about Arial Narrow? Is the entire font family blacklisted just because of it’s slutty older brother?

So, you accept and believe in black lists?

OK. The whole Arial family is communist. Don’t use it!

So why does Mac OS include more Arial fonts than Windows?

As a font it’s more Apple than Mickey Mouse and the rainbow fatty nano iPod combined! ;-)

Against a woman’s right to choose (a different font)

Pro immigration (only from countries that use the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic and Hebrew writing systems)

Against all taxes (the forms sill use Helvetica)

Against the Iraq War (because Helvetica is it’s official font)

Pro cloning

Pro stem research

Spent the last eight years in a POW camp being systematically beaten by Mark and Erik. But still in favor of torturing designers everywhere.

Fears being surpassed by a younger rival with less baggage (Calibri)

Sounds Like McCain should drop Optima and choose Arial. ;-)
