What's this photo about?

A title and description can provide essential detail about this photo.

"Office professionalism" seems to have no bearing on freedom of speech...just as long as you use the right typeface.

    Fantastic. How about something to reign in those exclamation points too?

  11. spodzone (6 weeks ago)

    Six exclamation marks, a sure sign of someone who wears their underwear on their head.

  12. emcmama (6 weeks ago)

    People working for a Fortune 500 company should probably have a better grasp on their use of capitalization. Just a thought.

  13. Julie Lyn (6 weeks ago)

    Ah, an em-dash!

  14. chuanchihchou (6 weeks ago)

    Comic Sans won't make you a lemonade stand, nor will a serious typeface make a lemonade stand a Fortune 500 company.

    Dan Gilbert's office at the Cleveland Cavaliers?

  16. latt3girl (6 weeks ago)

    thanks for this, I needed a laugh!

    Tip from TREACL

    Please stick to fonts that fit their setting! Times (or other simple serif fonts) for small, printed prose. Arial for titles. Verdanna is sightly fatter, and easiest to read on the web!

    Heh. Truly awesome.

  19. Pete Sturman (6 weeks ago)

    If they are that pedantic why not make their own one. I dunno ,office politics.

  20. Leigh Adnett (6 weeks ago)

    Fantastic !!

  21. netsaver (6 weeks ago)

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! *thumbsup*

  22. cindyward (6 weeks ago)

    Could have been worse - could have been Papyrus.

  23. russellvt (6 weeks ago)

    Welcome to Reddit.

  24. jimrenaud (6 weeks ago)

    There's always money in the lemonade stand

  25. silviam (6 weeks ago)

    Brilliant!

  26. jimrenaud (6 weeks ago)

    Only James Cameron's signage includes Papyrus

  27. ciaoenrico (6 weeks ago)

    OMG I can't stop laughing at this!

  28. nburmandesign (6 weeks ago)

    Every time someone uses Comic Sans, a kitten dies.

  29. georgeskesseler (6 weeks ago)

    I hate arial. It's an IllconcIeved font which no logIc of what is a capItal i and a lowercase L

  30. violetpie (6 weeks ago)

    Oh the hilarity!

  31. Paul Schreiber (6 weeks ago)

    Never use Arial. It's a cheap ripoff of Helvetica.

  32. daniev (6 weeks ago)

    Fantastic! xD

  33. Mazda6 MPS (6 weeks ago)

    Awesome!

  34. mohrt (6 weeks ago)

    ya know, people in fortune 500 companies can be a bit creative, not just dry boring suits.

  35. Encino Mom (6 weeks ago)

    Very funny! Btw, Comic Sans is my favorite font. lol

  36. arkenflickr (6 weeks ago)

    If Fortune 500 companies were creative, and pigs might fly, they'd encourage the clever use of any typeface.

  37. DHAWTH (6 weeks ago)

    Please don't misuse capitalization when trying to seem better at writing than another person; lemonade stand is not a proper name so it's best left capitalization-free.

    Also, the amount of lack in self-esteem it takes to use these means to snipe at someone for using a certain font makes me feel very sorry for you.

  38. Pipcard (6 weeks ago)

    Killjoys.

    Comic Sans is awesome.

  39. timsides (5 weeks ago)

    I think they both need to be centrally aligned too.

  40. graceish☮ (5 weeks ago)

    Bahahaha, that is brilliant.

  41. Louisdead (5 weeks ago)

    ban comic sans! GREAT!

  42. Eli the Bearded (2 weeks ago)

    Lemonade Stand ran before Comic Sans was created.

  43. Dan Bock (34 hours ago)

    There should be a third note telling the writer of the second note about the correct use of capital letters.
