Sue Googe Uses Google's Font To Run For US Congress (theverge.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the tongue-twister dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Sue Googe is running to represent the 4th Congressional District of North Carolina in United States Congress. Since her last name resembles "Google," she has decided to use Google's font to help market her campaign. You can view a picture of Sue Googe standing next to two people holding her campaign signs here. You'll see that "Googe" is written just like "Google," but without the "l." Even the "e" in "Googe" is slanted like the "e" in "Google." "Sue" on the other hand, is not written in the same font as "Googe." It's possible the campaign accidentally selected this font, but upon closer inspection, that seems highly unlikely. It begs the question: Will Google sue Sue Googe? While we wait for Google to comment on the story, you can read all about Sue Googe on her website.

    Sue needs to employ a photographer for her website before she does anything, at least someone who has a basic grasp of colour balance. What an awful site.

    Of course they'll Sue Googe. It's right in her name.

    Does her husband sometimes come home, grab her and say "I'm feeling lucky"?

      Sticking with the dropped Ls, probably "I'm feeling ucky"

    You keep using that phrase. I don't think it means what you think it means.

    Obviously her version would be "don't be evi".
