A Boing Boing reader read my earlier entry about text greeking and sent me a hilarious anecdote. He designed a website for a restaurant called Windows On the Bay. The client had not yet given him the copy for the site, so he filled the page with what he describes as "incredibly overblown, remarkably pretentious text."
He says the client ended up using the copy!
Windows on the Bay is the finest restaurant on the Jersey Shore. We are the alpha and the omega in seashore dining and freshly prepared gourmet seafood. No other restaurant in New Jersey looks out over such a commanding view. We are truly the finest of all possible restaurants.
Our chefs have all been trained at the finest schools in the world, and they put every ounce of that training to work for you. We create each made-to-order dish fresh and put every ounce of our considerable skill and knowledge to work to make you the best meal possible.
Our highly-trained wait staff are here to serve your every need. They are ready to bend their skills and energy to every table, every serving; you will be waited on as you have never been waited on before.
We are sure you will come back for more. Once you've come to Windows on the Bay, you will never want to leave.
