It’s official: LeBron is LeGone.
Sure, that sucks. Bad. But what I’m REALLY up in arms about is that hate-filled “open letter to fans” written by Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert.
No, I’m not upset about the content. That was pretty hysterical, actually. I just can’t believe that the entire email was written in COMIC SANS!
(If you don’t know my feelings about that particular font yet, check out my very first blog post.)
Seriously, Mr. Gilbert. Could you have picked a more mockable font for the most important memo of your life? It’s clear you’re extremely pissed off by the unrestrained use of bolding, capitlization and quote marks, but it’s hard to take someone seriously when they’ve committed such a grave font faux pas. I know you’re not a typography snob like moi, but if you commonly associate words like “childish” and “friendly” with a particular font, then perhaps it’s not the best choice for a vicious rant, eh?
In the future, just stick to Arial. Please. It may be boring, but it gets the job done.

/ July 9, 2010My friend Michelle in NY, who is also a Newhouse grad, wrote me an email this morning saying the exact same thing! “I saw the letter from the Cavs owner and it’s really great (http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html), although God only knows why he wrote it in Comic Sans lol. Still, I love how pissed off he is!”
