After spending a good chunk of my day translating away about a big, upcoming event, I had to spend 30 minutes researching all forms of Japanese sweets and I can say that Manjuu A isn't really that different from Manjuu B other than maybe the filling.

@fimion Comic Sans should be reserved for comic books or a web comic, and not anywhere else. Even then, I think we can do better.

And so it continues to propogate. If we want normal people to know good design, then we need to stop doing things for irony sake, and only put good design into the world.
