WTF…didn’t I read almost exactly the same ‘story’ last week about another very similar deck of cards. I thought the same thing then as now- this is an advert masquerading as a story. If you’re going to put it on the main page and make it twice the size of the other posts the least you could do is to mark as an advert.
“And when I grow up as a graphic designer I hope to create something that hits typographic nerves like this deck does.”
Is it just me or does this statement not make any sense ? Would anybody ‘grow up as a graphic designer’? It sounds like the kind of dreck written by a bored advertising intern.
I remember posting a defence of Cory and the rest of the boing boing team when they first added the banner adverts a few years back but when they allow posts that puport to be part of the normally interesting content but that are actually poorly concealed click bait then I’m out of here. Goodbye Boing Boing and good luck.
