Best pop culture graphics thing I’ve seen in a while, in an ironic t-shirt kind of way.

If I were cool at all I would go put lorem ipsum all over the background of my stuff, too. Along with a tiny ‘Get Netscape 1.0′ button.

As someone who helps develop websites for Tylenol and other beloved consumer package goods, I can confirm that whoever built that Always site simply Fucked Up. Just like the NY Phil has for the past umpteen seasons.

All the great graphic designers I’ve worked with over the years (as a production artist/typesetter) are dyslexic, and don’t really read. It explains a lot.

Lorem Ipsum is an insert, a place holder ,waiting for the real deal .Tampax is an insert…
Perhaps the intention isn’t so secret after all.

Lorem Ipsum is widely used as a text placeholder; designers use it to show how a text would look like once they have the actual copy. So, It may look like tampax has some knowledge in latin, but a graphic designer might see it like they forgot to place the right text. But the fact that they have the Lorem Ipsum in they background could have secret intensions, who knows.

The Phil’s programming is also an attempt to staunch the bleeding.
