EVIL IS EVERYWHERE

The still-accelerating decision by, say, restaurants—fast-food restaurants particularly, but now, increasingly, sit-down joints as well—to print their children's menus or their titles ("Kidz Only," etc.) in "kid-like," zany fonts reflects a conscious and ultimately business-based determination that the presentation of products for children will be more profitable if that presentation is anchored by visual cues that communicate certain characteristics or psychologies....

But wait. "Kid-like" fonts? "Boring" typefaces? What moral and cultural judgments about the nature of juvenility are impacted in those phrases?

Er, James? That Billy Graham Crusade that's going on this weekend in Queens?

About five minutes from now, the Crusade is going to have a Kidz Gig (with Bibleman).

Billy Graham! A "Kidz Gig"! Argh! Satanic forces are running amok!
