# I'd pass a law
that said all newspapers and websites are only allowed to use one font size through the entire paper and a minimum of fifteen words in the headline. News would be very different. No screaming headlines and they'd have to actually explain something in the headline, all without censoring content.

Also: woo!

# I saw a quote on the BBC's Have Your Say
where someone said that anyone who still thinks nuclear power is a good idea should dropped into one of the Japanese reactors.
Of course, without it, he'd be struggling to switch his computer on this morning...

# Bugger it, I'm going for lunch.
KFC or pizza?

# I might buy a large popcorn chicken
and ask the pizza place to make a BBQ sauce pizza with that one. There's a defibrilator somewhere handy, I hope.

# Or I might buy a pizza
and roll it up and ask KFC to coat it and fry it.
It's a terrible decision to have to make.

# my problem was
I couldn't find any fonts tacky enough to evoke the typographic abortion that is the Daily Wail. It's a surprisingly delicate art, recreating shit.

# My handy backup
was to download a newspaper's webpage and rewrite the html, then screencap it. Tedious and laborious, but avoids the "what font-matching algorithm did you use"...
It doesn't look too bad that one.

# where do you find the time?
