So, strictly speaking, this probably didn’t need to happen.
The flagged image, while on the small side, was a nice, lossless .png and may or may not have been better kerned. But it was tagged for SVG, and I was too big an Old School Mac nerd to let it slide.
Plus now you can get it instantly in a 2000 pixel size. TWO THOUSAND PIXELS! For a font originally designed to be rendered as a bitmap on a screen about the width of your Tumblr dashboard.

Now let’s see how long this stays up. Not that I expect it to come down, but Wikipedes are an unusual bunch.

Kesha wanted Prince to produce her music, so she found and snuck into his Beverly Hills home. Once discovered, she was thrown out, but not before she left her demo with Prince who did not contact her afterwards. She also had the opportunity to sing background for Paris Hilton’s second single, which led to an incident later where she vomited in Hilton’s closet and wrote a song about it.

Thought-terminating Cliché
jrk:
A thought-terminating cliché is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance. Though the phrase in and of itself may be valid in certain contexts, its application as a means of dismissing dissention or justifying fallacious logic is what makes it thought-terminating. Thought-terminating clichés are sometimes used during political discourse to enhance appeal or to shut down debate. In this setting, their usage can usually be classified as a logical fallacy.
