Internet Celebrities @ ROFLThing NYC



Where you afraid to come here? Someone in the crowd asked Vincent Connare, the designer of Comic Sans, the most "behated" font in the room. In 1994 he designed the chubby letters for Microsoft, in order to create a font, that fits better in speech bubbles than Times New Roman. With no intention to spread it anywhere else. Today he nearly takes a picture of ugly applications, everywhere he goes: toilets, restaurants, and shops. Just everywhere, where someone means to be friendly. "Sorry", he commits. "I didn't mean it."

After knowing more about internet celebrities, it was our turn to answer @ ROFLCon.. Who wants to be famous? 3 fingers. Who wants to be rich? all fingers. Most internet users prefer to let their cats be the star.
