I didn't take the skit as insulting the font, just the laziness of the person who chose it for Avatar.

Dude got screwed, though. $750 for the font they used in Avatar...

sometimes i see screencaps of ppl's phones and they're using the most god awful squiggly text like what is that shit? is it an iphone thing or something? how can anyone read that? it's worse than comic sans

Those are android phones that have the child font

[hjalmartazar]

Ew!

I didn't know that - I have an android and don't even know how to change the font lol

I'm too cheap to ever leave something I payed for, so I would never, but also I fucking stan ha and A Seat At The Table has been on a hardcore replay sice the anniversary, so I would've not left anyway

[jeff_koons]
