So, as much as it pains me to write, if you read something in Comic-Sans, you’re more prone to comprehend and remember. Because it is harder to read, people concentrate more, therefore retaining more information:
What this means is that Comic Sans may be hideous, but it has its place in the world besides angry screeds by the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. If you’re a student and your professor starts to put material in funky fonts, you’ll know why.
Second item, is the Westboro Baptist Church, the group that everyone can get together to despise, was given air time on the radio in Tuscon for agreeing not to picket the funeral of the nine year old that died in the shooting.
On one hand, I like that they won’t be at the funeral, and I doubt that very many people will listen to their broadcast. It was a smart move by the radio station. If people do listen, they get the ratings. If people don’t, no one hears their hateful message.
However, giving airtime to those wackos is never good, so that is saddening.
I’m not saying I have a better solution (although I do like how they bring communities to together to find new and interesting ways to counter protest them), of course it would be better if they just weren’t around.
