I've seen some copywriters sneer at this piece, as a copywriter (with, ahem, a sense of humor), I thoroughly enjoyed this.

hilarious. i am a copywriter and you're right. i don't care about the font and i fail to see why it should take four days to choose a colored background or card stock -- it's not like the printer isn't going to F it up anyway. it's just a flier for crying out loud; don't build your portfolio around it! i worked for hours to choose a word that would grab someone's attention. your font doesn't matter. though, i do admit ... the SIZE of the font does. haha ... size ALWAYS matters. ;)

Quite honestly - and please realize I am trying my Utmost to be honest - I think the font does matter as much as people matter. I think the key is knowing when to do what and why. Let me explain: Fonts are like magic pellets in the brain - you think they are worth nill but they captivate you like mere words never could. Words are chaff, font and design are gold.
