We here at SayItWithPapyrus are huge fans of the Office. And yes, Thursday night we were treated to a spectacular display of modern pop-pyrus implementation. Knowing that this awesome show has in the past kept a very up to date, and hilarious selection of items in their online store, one would need to look no further than here to find some sweet Serenity by Jan scented candles.
Then, a travesty occurred:
Some douchebag in charge of getting these little ditties made up for the store, completely fucked up his job beyond repair. What the hell kind of font is that on the label? Does that say "Serenity" to you? Well maybe, but you know what certainly says serenity more?? Damn right P to A to P-Y-R-U-S.
Someone needs to have a serious sit-down with this intern and teach him the ropes. Perhaps he was an aspiring graphic designer, who saw the clearly overused Papyrus which was used on the on-set products and banners and figured it was his moment in the limelight to right this wrong. To really show his shining potential to his bosses.
But you know who's wrong? This kid.
The office is a brilliant show, no doubt there. They nailed the "Serenity by Jan" product line, kudos to the set-dressers and designers, or whoever else made that call (no-brainer).
And I know what your thinking to yourself. "What if the printer didn't have Papyrus on his computer?" Seriously?? I have a fucking alarm with comic sans labels on it (seriously, no joking). So don't try and give me any of that BS, printers have these fonts. ESPECIALLY printers of cheap novelty goods. It's a staple of their presence in the world. Everyone knows papyrus comes pre-installed on every computer ever made in the last 15 years (citation needed).
So whoever was responsible for this travesty, please right your wrong. There really is no excuse here. I mean you nailed an exact copy of the Schrute Farm Beets T-shrt... which means you have direct access to the production team and their artwork. No excuses.
