You've got to nail that briefing for your boss. What better way to get that presentation to pop than to make your points in comic sans, the merry court jester of type faces? If this sounds like a good idea, there's a senior-level Army position waiting for you.

Somehow, an aide to Gen. Ann Dunwoody, leader of the Army's Materiel Command, prepared a staggering 100-slide PowerPoint entirely in comic sans. Poor Dunwoody had to deliver the briefing -- including this particularly meme-ready slide -- to Army Secretary John McHugh a few weeks ago. It was provided to Danger Room by someone who's been shaking their head ever since.

Thing is: it's not a bad briefing! It's packed full of detail about Dunwoody's command, which oversees everything from Army research to making sure soldiers have enough bullets. If you want to see the whole thing, I've uploaded it here. And imagine yourself trying to get through Dunwoody's presentation without smirking.
