Sue Googe Uses Google's Font To Run For US Congress (theverge.com)
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.
Google OWNS that font? It's not even the same font Google now uses. It's a "sans serif" font that is a little more "stylized" than Helvetica, but the "Google Font"? Sure, OK, whatever. By the way, how is this any story at all? Good grief, did she fart in public and mention Donald Trump? News for nerds? Stuff that matters? Not really... Does Timothy still work at Slashdot? Seriously, file this under "No One Give's A Shit" .

"Beg the question" doesn't mean "beg for the question." It means to avoid answering the question.
