Puma and Droga5 are launching a genuine stock market ticker app that measures the rising and falling market by the amount of exposed flesh on some good looking folks. The more values drop, the more clothes come off.
People are already shouting that it’s “inspired” by Sexy Politics but I never saw that. Google it if you want – the site appears to be gone now.
This is the absolutely brilliant response from IKEA:
We’re surprised, but I think it’s mainly experts who have expressed their views, people who are interested in fonts. I don’t think the broad public is that interested.
Verdana is a simple, cost-effective font which works well in all media and languages.
What do you think?
Does it matter what “experts” say compared to the “general public”?
Ikea are a very design based company so you’d have thought they would’ve paid more of an interest.
But I like their downplaying of it citing ‘practical reasons’. It kinda works.
