We've all been there - whether conjuring digital images on Microsoft Paint, writing emails to long-lost friends or grinding out 50-page thesis papers (gasp!) - at one point or another, we've all been guilty of misusing the Comic Sans font.
Hence, some clever fella with Internet access saw opportunity in this global misjudgment epidemic, and created Comic Sans Criminal, a tongue-in-cheek guide to using the correct use of typography, and more specifically, Comic Sans.
It's cleverly designed, colourful and very well typographied (duh!). A short little exercise than is fun for all, even if you're too hooked on the font to change your ways.
It seems like the bicycle is the new It transport method (if such a thing even exists). Browse through Scott Schuman's streetstyle blog The Sartorialist and you'll realize that good-looking people in great-looking outfits almost always have a couple of wheels nearby. Girls in heels, boys in suits and everything in between; they've all got the bike-balance.
So, if you were wondering how to jump onto the bandwagon (or bicycle in this case), then head on over to Urban Outfitters and Republic Bike's online bike shop, where you can customize your pedal mobile and have it shipped to you. Hmm, so snazzy.
It's not everyday that Andrew and Ben from MGMT suit up, but when they do work the snappy dressing, the duo clean up very very well.
GQ gathered some of the best and up-coming musicians now and ever. The National, The Walkmen, The Drums and the aforementioned MGMT all appear in GQ's "Rock the Suit", looking super duper dapper. Also in the spread, legendary legend (what other word is there?) David Byrne was in the company of two gorgeous ladies, posing with Santigold and St.Vincent for the magazine.
Betty White has always been our favourite Golden Girl, and at 78, she's making a comeback, starting with this outrageous Superbowl ad for Snickers.
Here's how it works (spoiler alert):
A bunch of fellas are playing football in the park, and they're all really into it. It's a big serious game. And then there's Betty White. The poor old lady can barely move. She gets a pep talk and a Snickers bar (of course) and transforms into an energetic man, really to score some winning touchdowns. Then comes the tagline: "You're not you when you're hungry".
Probably one of my favourite commercials in recent years. Not only does this Discovery Channel have a super catchy jingle (Boom de ah da, boom de ah da, boom de ah da, boom de ah da), it's also got the educational channel's presenters and stars singing along and about what they love. Mike Rowe, the host of Dirty Jobs, crawls in a sewer while singing: "I love real dirty things", and Man Vs. Wild's Bear Grylls does his part with: "I love arachnids", while holding up a big, scary-looking tarantula.
Funny, heart-warming, personal and 100% Discovery Channel.
