“A website doesn’t always need a lot of design elements to be considered good. Sometimes great typography alone can get the job done. This article is a showcase of designs that fall into that category. With these sites you won’t see a lot of textures, color, or imagery, but instead a focus on type and layout….”
I love to see things like this.

Dear Dentyne,
Sorry your ill-conceived ad campaign talks smack about the main interest of your target market. Bummer.

Caveat up front: we can’t pay a lot, and for that, I am deeply sorry. But we will work out some compensation, and we’d love to establish a relationship going forward that could turn into something more. It’s like dating. Try ‘em out for a bit: see if you like us, see if we like you, then maybe we’ll get serious and you can meet our parents and shit.
no, it’s not...

Violent Loudness.

…Ooooh that’s right. I forgot that the people who make Tumblr are COMPLETELY DEAF AND ARE TRYING TO DEAFEN THE REST OF US OUT OF SPITE!!!
I want to punch my computer every time I turn on a song in the Tumblr dashboard and it starts playing at like 7000% volume IN MY BOSE HEADPHONES. Nothing like the soft ear-encompassing comfort to hold in all that piercingly loud, ear-drum-slashing...
I think that all movies which get slightly excessive with sequels should ultimately have one titled: “________ the reckoning”.
Examples:
Spiderman 4: The Reckoning
Shrek 4: The Reckoning
High School Musical 4: The Reckoning
I think it makes them appropriately self-righteous and melodramatic.
