WEtard Font & Other Such
Posted by Harvey at 11:42 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (26)

Alice, bless her soul, sent me 4 gifts recently.

First, an explanation of how the WEtard Font came to be. Here's a particularly irksome passage from the article [see also the original press release]:

"Mr. Collins said he wanted a typeface that was "friendlier" than that of [1960's Swiss/Modernist poster design]. The new typeface, with small, more rounded gestures, is little bit quirky, but has a curiously warm appearance, too."

Friendly, quirky, curiously warm... sorta like having sex with an apple pie.

Second - an .fla file that contains the font. If someone knows how to do such a conversion, have at it.

Third - a 72 dpi .jpg of the font. If anyone is conversant with font-creating software, this might be useful.

Fourth - a 300 dpi .jpg of the font. Ditto.

If anyone makes a usable TrueType font out of this, drop me a line.

By the way, my initial reaction to the font - after getting a good look at the pointless asymmetrical design of some of the letters (especially p & q) - was that it's the kind of thing you'd expect from a surly teenager with an ideogram neck tat & multiple facial piercings whose persistent mommy-issues cause a mental blind spot preventing him from telling the difference between "gracelessly inelegant mutilation" and "creative design".

*******

Next, from the latest panicky polar bear missive from WEtard central:

Polar bears are tragic, innocent victims of global warming.

When they're not mauling Inuits (careful if you follow the links on that page, as they lead to graphic images).

Or grandmothers

Or Australian zoo-goers

Or nuclear-powered Seawolf class submarines.

And - much like our enemies the Canadians - they like to club baby seals to death for fun. Club them with their long, pointy teeth! (video contains graphic nature-show violence)

Who in the world would want to save this brutal killer?:

killer polar bear.jpg

The answer - our WEtarded government, who put this bloodthirsty monster on the threatened species list instead of making comfy, decorative rugs out of the genocidal lot of them.

Speaking of which, what else can you use a dead polar bear for?

* speed bump

* Klondike bar display rack

* Put him in the passenger seat so you can use the HOV lane.

* Opening a restaurant specializing in Eskimo cuisine - blubberiffic!

* Paint it green; pass it off as world's largest Chia Pet.

* Cut it open and use it to keep your Wampa-mauled Jedi friend warm.

I'm sure you've got friendly, quirky, and curiously warm notions of your own that you'd like to share.

Only one, Harvey. With mouth and fur covered in blood (like your picture), I'd like a polar bear head stuffed and hanging over my mantle with the caption:

* Liberals taste good.

Use the head as a model for your WoW helmet.

#2 - Posted by: FormerHostage on May 15, 2008 12:17 PM

I bet it'd be fun to drop one off the roof of a recruiting center onto some protesting code pinkos

#3 - Posted by: Raving Lunatic on May 15, 2008 12:18 PM

Bearskin.
Fireplace.
Nekkid women.
Camera.

Some assembly required.

This is all just a plot to stop us from ever drilling from ANWR.


Oh, and shoot it in the head with a 300 magnum.

And, unlike Tauntauns, they don't smell all that bad on the outside!

Obama or the Hildebeest's running mate.

Pretty sure that is a Flash MX symbols file. I don't have MX Studio on my work machine but I can try to look at it tonite on my home PC.

If we armed them with flamethrowers, they could patrol our southern border and stop illegal immigration. That would solve two problems at once.

They could be used to train washed-up boxers.

The popemobile could be pulled by a couple polar bears and that would be awesome!

Think of all the money we could save on electrical chairs and lethal injections if each state had a polar bear in the pennitentiary.

Heh. Polar bear in the carpool lane.

bigbro says: You Neoliberal Utopians have too much time on your hands....worrying about man versus polar bear.

You ever wonder how a tiger would do against a crocodile to the background sound of rap?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGe6GP4lALU

Or, how a tiger would handle a 25ft. reticulated python to the sound of music from grindhouse movies?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFCcvZFP6D8

Yeah, yeah, Neoliberal Utopians. Your wimpiness personified in paranoia has you having nightmares about being attacked by a polar bear from a Xmas Pepsi commercial.

Try wearing the shoes of a tiger...even if its a San Francisco zoo cat.

Who in the world would want to save this brutal killer?:

You left out "beady-eyed," as in "Who in the world would want to save this brutal, beady-eyed killer?"

WE need to take every opportunity to throw in a gratuitous characterization of these enemies of all mankind if WE are ever going to change the world for the better.

You may have heard that I have recently announced my candidacy for the office of President of the United States. You can find video of my announcement by simply typing in Cobra Commander for President on YouTube. I am visiting your sight in the hopes of raising awareness of my campaign.

Now on the subject of polar bears. While I have never found a use for dead polar bears, I have found that live ones, when genetically modified and equipped with both lasers and a simple mind control device, make excellent exit poll surveyors. In fact they are a key part of my campaign.

So in the meantime remember to vote, and to vot,

COBRA!!!

Listen for the dead polar bear angle in this Minnesotans' for Global Warming Video

Attacks on USN submarines operating in international waters - that's an Act of War!!! Nuke the North Pole!

Say this out loud:

I am wee todd edd

I am wee todd edd

I am sofa king wee todd edd

I nominate this for the WEtard slogan.

#17 - Posted by: innominatus on May 15, 2008 05:46 PM

Oh yeah - I forgot - we could feed polar bear liver to hippies (it might make their smelly hippy skins fall off) by telling them it's stinky tofu.

#18 - Posted by: xaetognath on May 15, 2008 06:25 PM

Wow. I don't think I ever laughed so hard at a Wikipedia entry as I did at the one about the submarine.

You were funny too, Harvey.

#19 - Posted by: Frank J. on May 15, 2008 07:33 PM

Mmmmm, pit BBQ mesquite smoked polar bear brisket.....yummy and sustainable! WEEEEeeeee

#20 - Posted by: GreenWEknee on May 16, 2008 02:34 AM

This could be solved easily by cloning the loving fun filled critters -you grab one and I'll clone him.

Let's see now -the greens are bemoaning (aren't they always?) the fact that the seals are in trouble and declining -polar bears eat seals -hmmmmm?

Isn't less of any species a reduction in CO2?

I would gladly -for the proper offset fee -hunt a few whitetail deer and help our three presidential candidates fight global warming -for the good of the country, of course.

#21 - Posted by: Don L on May 16, 2008 08:23 AM

I don't think that .fla will open in Flash MX. I think you're going to need 8 or newer.

#22 - Posted by: Alice H on May 16, 2008 03:18 PM

It's only a matter of time before the folks at Disney, Pixar or their competition make a movie starring, the perky, peace loving, proud, but pathetic Polar Bear.

One wonders if the whole-sale eating of seals, penguins and people will be featured. Maybe they can get Nick Nolte to do the voice of the bear or maybe Bradjelina will take it up as a project. It's just their speed.

#23 - Posted by: seanmahair on May 16, 2008 09:32 PM

The good news is, our government nannies can only protect polar bears in US territory (Alaska). Polar bears in Canada, Greenland, Siberia and whatever other northern wasteland they inhabit are still fair game for less sentimental, more practical people to deal with as they should, "It twitched! Shoot it again!"

That bloody monster would make a good Pro-Global Warming mascot. Maybe a caption like, 'still over 26,000 of these beasts left. Turn it up!'

The grim underbelly of this BS is that it's the same old Eugenics hype under a new label. It's not the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, it's the amount of people on the planet that they really have a problem with. Anything that eliminates people, like famine (or polar bears) is a good thing. (From the eugenics point of view).

Took my sons to see the new Narnia film tonight and almost spit my popcorn out as the WE had a promo during the previews!!!!!!!!!!!

#25 - Posted by: Sulamie on May 17, 2008 03:12 AM

New? Custom? It's Transport D Medium, as used on British roadsigns for the last 40 years.
