IKEA's Font Controversy

If the image I created for this story seriously bothers you because of the fonts, then go see a psychiatrist because you've got some real mental issues (I just saved you a consultation fee). In a world rocked by economic hardships, war in the middle east, and a debate on the future of American health care (to name just a few things), there's a bunch of people (mainly twitter-twits) upset over IKEA's change in company font. It's so ridiculous that I shouldn't even mention it. And yet, it may say something about what's happening to our society thanks to the evils of instant communication like texting and twitter tweets. Attention social scientists, the gauntlet has been tossed.
