What?! LOL!

Unfortunately not everyone thinks about their font choices when applying for a job...

Isn't the Onion a gag site? If it's the site I'm thinking it is, most if not all stories are gags.

I bet they got that from Futurama - the episode where Calculon reads Zoidberg's uncle's script and rejects it because he doesn't like the font.

I watch too much TV.

Yeah The Onion is fake - I used to read it a lot ages ago but then forgot about it. I was reminded of the site because our leading newspaper used it as a reference! Don't worry, I sent an email to the writer of that column to let her know what's up :D

It's too bad that it's not obvious for 'tards that the site isn't for real. I didn't look that hard, but I couldn't see a disclaimer. Is there one?
