As you can see the hate is spreading faster than the swine flu. Today's post is donated by an illustrator who I'm privileged to work with. You can see Brian's work through the link above. He's illustrated for the Los Angeles Times, Billboard, USA Weekend, Variety, The Washington Post, and tons of other publications that probably use crappy fonts that we'll soon get to. Let's hear what Mr. Taylor has to say...

"You think you're all hardcore, don't you 'Shotgun BT'? You think because you got a couple bullet holes in your font, you can hang in the streets? You think just because you got the word 'shotgun' in your name I'm supposed to be afraid of you? Maybe in the 1920s you could hang, with all those lame old time gangsters with their tommy guns and zoot suits...But this is 2009, son. You just can't hang today. Fonts today would eat you alive. You look foolish. You look like a punk and a sucka."

"Have you ever been used for anything? Has anyone ever said "Yeah, I want that font. The one with the retarded Pac-Man brothers, C, E & G" And what's with the letter 'F'? Is that really supposed to be an 'F'?"

"And if you thought the letters were bad. Look at those numbers. Horrible. Just horrible. Shotgun BT, you are the worst!"

Special guest hater,

Brian Taylor
