Oh-K!
I was recently invited to join THIS FLICKR GROUP and add one of my cemetery letters to their photo pool. The group is dedicated to the letter K. Nothing too unusual about that... just a healthy interest in typography, right?
WRONG.
I looked at their WEBSITE and discovered that this person is obsessed with the letter K. Specifically in trying to get people to write the letter K like this: K rather than like this: K
According to this site, and correct me if I misunderstood this, but this person believes that the second style of the letter K causes suicidal thoughts. Why? because of the three intersecting lines. This site is so poorly written I couldn't figure out why this causes people to go into a "suicide mode" Perhaps I just lack patience?
"Because the shape of the alphabet "K" is used on a mass basis, the tragedy can also take the shape of gigantic proportions.
At this point, perhaps it should be mentioned what is the great tragedy that is being mentioned in this narrative? The answer to the question is SUICIDE. An act of someone that takes their own life. The act of someone so disturbed mentally that they cannot find any will to live."
I had to dig through THIS pile of drivel to finally get to the heart of the matter. Someone needs to tell this person that if you are trying to start a movement it's best ye get right to the point... and maybe learn to write. Oh but wait, you're nuts. My bad.

Holy crap, I'm glad I'm not that screwed up! The truly scary past is how totally serious this person is.
"The act of someone so disturbed mentally that they cannot find any will to live." For some reason, this sentence bothers me. To me, the person who wrote this really doesn't understand suicide.
Where do you find these people?
Okay, that second sentence was supposed to read "The truly scary part..."
