Kern Like A Canadian
After the previously discussed 6 seasons of horrible kerning on the America's Next Top Model "Tyra Mail", I am proud to announce that the recently debuted first episode of Canada's Next Top Model remedies the problem with our very own "Tricia Mail".
Based on the supermodel host of the show, Tricia Helfer, we appear to have done away with snail mail altogether, and instead get extraneous animated-mail-opening graphics á la You've Got Mail. In fact, the Canadian graphic designers in charge of this one seem to have eliminated all chance of bad kerning by tightening it up to the point where both words touch each other. The Americans are going to really have to step it up for Tyra's next season...
More like Canada's Next Typographical Triumph.

I guess you could call Canadians "Kern-ucks"?!
Speaking of extraneous animated-mail-opening graphics á la You've Got Mail, you could probably do a whole lengthy post about crazy computer sound effects in movies. Á la "The Net" and every movie since then with a computer in it. Like when the computer constantly tells you what's happening. "ACCESSING SECRET FILES" "VIRUS ALERT. VIRUS ALERT." "BLEEP BLOOP BLEEP." Like the person has "universal access" turned on in their system preferences.
Maybe it's like having sound in space...
oh man! I only wish I could have the joy of viewing such excessive kerning...we're still stuck down under with the pain of watching that d#@n T yra mail. one day, one day...
All praise the great kerning gods and goddesses. This makes me truly proud to be a canadian!
