What is it with politicians and try-hard kids’ pages on their websites? GrodsCorp has looked at John Howard’s kidZONE before but that abomination looks positively cutting edge when compared to Kevin Andrews’ Kids Page (no apostrophe in sight):

Yep. That’s it. Isn’t that simply the lamest piece of web design and content authoring you’ve ever seen? And I know that kids who are unfortunate enough to stumble across that page will be thrilled to be pointed towards the Commonwealth government’s Internet Police website.

But then again, it could be worse. The poor kids could burn their retinas on Kev’s photo page instead:

Aargh! My eyes!

I always love how it seems sufficient to be “for the kidz” if they put it in comic sans serif font. In fact I recommend to Lachie Connor that he make it mandatory when he gets elected, so kidz can always tell when they are being ~~patronised~~ communicated to.

I’ve done a survey and it’s an empirical fact that primary teachers’ favourite font is Comic Sans.

Whenever you put the words “empirical fact” in a sentence I know you’re making shit up. Maybe if you wrote it in comic sans serif though….
