You’ve probably been loitering around facebook and probably stumbled upon this disturbing image:
Thanks a lot Manny!
As many you guys have said, while so many people are suffering from Ondoy, Villar had the right mind to proclaim himself a savior of the typhoon victims by shamelessly plastering his name over a styro meal.
Some argue that it could’ve been an enemy of Villar who did this—and I believe that’s possible. But what’s really, really interesting is that people are choosing to believe that he did it.
Kanye West has been all over the web lately with his public outbursts against Taylor Swift and his (hilariously) disrespectful remarks on the death of the late Patrick Swayze.
Among all the things he’s been doing, what amused me the most was his apology to Taylor, which he posted in his blog. In all caps, it wrote:
“I’M SOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS!………………I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!………………BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIBE RIGHT NOW CAUSE…WELL YOU KNOW!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!! BOOYAWWWW!!! YOU ARE VERY TALENTED!!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME…THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!! I’M NOT CRAZY Y’ALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!
If you’re gonna deduce it simply from the way he wrote his message—from the SCREAMING ALL CAPS, the extremely long ellipses and the persistent exclamation marks!!!—he looks like an idiot.
What Kanye West just did is proof that there is a need for typography in this world. By adjusting spacing, using the proper symbols, punctuations and grids, typography ensures that the text is readable, legible and idiot-proof. Typography makes sure that you’re sending the right message (and not sounding like a douchebag) with your text.
So the next time you’re setting text in MS Word or Photoshop, think first before hitting that juicy “Caps Lock” button.
They broke a few guitars and in return, got a satirical music video with more than five million views (and counting) spreading across the world relaying to people of all sorts how uncaring their employees are and how much their service sucks. As hilarious as the video is, it’s definitely gonna do some serious damage.
They’ve probably been treating customers like this for a while. This time, it’s just too unfortunate that they messed with the wrong people.
