There are times when it is entirely appropriate
My mum used it for signs and notices in her nursery school, primarily because it has an "a" that looks like the kind of "a" that she was trying to teach them to write. As a simple typeface for 2-4 year-olds to get to copy and get to grips with comprehending, it's more or less perfect.

I tend to tut when I see it used to make "Shoplifters will be prosecuted" signs in Boots or newsletters from the council, where it's completely inappropriate - it's like speaking to an adult in baby talk.

Yeah! Or getting a bird to dress up in a fucking Yoda mask and climb up a tree in her knickers.
I agree - that's fucking revolting and really, really creepy.

Hey Monts, maybe you can help me and a friend settle an argument
We were trying to decide at what age posting "Hey, come to the pub for my birthday, we'll go back to mine after!" to a collection of random strangers on a public interweb messageforum crosses the line from being risible to utterly fucking pathetic. I said it was any age after 30, what do you think?

I'm really not sure.
I'd say it was probably OK for a good 15 years after it stops being OK to dress like some creepy nonce 'sk8' prick who fancies robots.

It's certainly much more acceptable than using the word 'interweb' at any time in your life; it can only be topped in the 'embarrassing wanker' stakes by 'interwebs'. That would really mark you out as a flid cunt. Worth bearing in mind, perhaps.

Coming from an ageing deadbeat rocker with a paedo 'tache
who posts "There will be scenes of a sexual nature. There will be mild peril. There might even be an after party at Chateau Boyce." on his desperate plea for friends, I'm pretty sure wearing a hoodie and posting "interweb" are very minor offences compared to your tragic record of flidcuntery.

You do realise that any sane person would see that and read:
"Now then, now then, who'd like to come to a lovely party at Chateau Boyce, eh? Scenes of a sexual nature and mild peril, how's about that then, boys and girls?"

I'm afraid I disagree entirely.
In my personal opinion, I'd say that anyone who thought that - and even worse posted it, was without doubt a pitifully unfunny prick, floundering pathetically, clutching desperately at anything they possibly could from their 'Star Wars' festooned Finsbury Park cack-hole, in an ultimately doomed and somewhat depressing attempt at a witty and/or 'withering' put-down. I'd think that.

Sorry, you lost this at SHAZAM.

And that's the personal opinion of someone who even a crackhead considered too noncey to be a fit parent
who has to go on b3ta to find people to invite to his own birthday party and who looks like the Chuckle Brother the other Chuckle Brothers are embarrassed to be seen out with. Christ, you're like the epitome of pathetic.

Look, I know your own life is shit and you need to make yourself feel like a big man by lashing out at strangers online, but the thing is Monts old mate, being King of Off-Topic is like winning the Paralympics, if no-one on the planet gave a shit about the Paralympics either.

'ZING' of Off-Topic MORE LIKE!!!!!!!!!

Chalk another one up for the Emvster, guys.

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about
Who are these "guys" you're addressing? In your fantasy b3ta life, do you see yourself being cheered on by a gang of sycophants who overlook your very obvious failings as a person?

Oi!
Monty may be a penniless and pathetic crack-head, offering blowjobs for drugs on the streets of Shoreditch (and he is), but LEAVE /OFFTOPIC ALONE!
