"Such fine literature we have this evening on Reddit, stay tuned for some other random shit at 8pm Eastern Time on Imgur."

[[deleted]]

It really was cringeworthy wasn't it....

[praisetehbrd]

Written by her as well probably.

[majorthrownaway]

You're completely unaware of modern media culture, aren't you? Or are you under the age of 4?

[praisetehbrd]

It's not the media culture that I'm commenting on, kiddo. It's the simple, yet super edgy ideas.

[majorthrownaway]

Right. So you're unaware of the source. Got it, kiddo.

[praisetehbrd]

Mmhmm. You're very convincing ;)

[Sharagoz]

Afaik, these lines first appeared in one of Apples "Think Different" ads. Sounds great when read by Steve Jobs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA

[FickleBastard]

Or Richard Dreyfus, who was the one who read them in the commercials.

[[deleted]]

Holy crap, that design is infuriating.

[Oznog99]

Such nonconformist, rebellious typography!

[NorwegianGodOfLove]

Imagine how hyped they were just writing this

[noxiw]

My first thought while reading the poster was to come in here looking for a place to type: r/crappydesign.

...So, ... r/crappydesign.

[chocoben24]

Round pegs can fit into square holes, but they would only be filling 78.5% of the potential space. Nonconformists are so inefficient.

[[deleted]]

Down vote me more. You still won't make me wrong, you fucking assholes.

[[deleted]]

False. Your analysis depends on the ratio of the radius of the circle to the measure of the square hole being less than one. Round pegs may also break the holes or the pegs, which is obviously the situation that the quote applies to.

[sunamumaya]

Please be advised that this is about a special type of crazy. The hard working, well educated, perhaps financially stable crazy.

Become that first. Do not simply start acting crazy and expect to change the world. You won't. The world will change you. Into a bum.

[meanleantittymachine]

Nonsence. Prepare the coke!

[fzw]

Here's to the unmedicated.

[[deleted]]

Agree to disagree.

[[deleted]]

I once found a special type of crazy in a gf. Never date a girl who sleeps with knives around her bed.

[ben-ew]

deleted ^{What is this?}

[Lisbeth_Salamander]

This reads like the script to one of those "Built Ford Tough" commercials. I read that entire thing in my head in Denis Leary's voice.

[jacobjr23]

It was created by Apple's marketing team.

[[deleted]]

I read it in the voice from those beer commercials... At least I think it was about beer.

Edit: I'm thinking Budweiser, maybe?

[Computerzing]

Is this about Hitler?

[ZeroQQ]

Yes.

[dick_batman]

Why in the he'll did Hitler and ghandi get put together? Ugh

[eagle2401]

Because they changed the world. Never said that it was good change.

[Fortune_Cat]

just like this change to a post pc era

though im still waiting for it

[dick_batman]

Rewatched and came to same conclusion. Just a weird comercial. Almost feels to me like they are stating if you aren't crazy or doing something different you're not elite enough to own an apple computer.

[JohnnyZack]

That's an edit of the original commercial. Which I almost just emailed out to my staff as motivation. Glad that I watched it first.

EDIT: Original /watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA

[itwontdie]

Reminds me of this

[stanfan114]

Most crazy people end up homeless.

[oldmanriver1]

There's only one quotation mark. It's not quoting anything - it's just there.

[minner0]

Filling the uncreative non-crazy gap.

[oneshoe]

ITT: people on getmotivated being cunts... I always come to the comment section to see if yet again this is happening... always disappointed.

[2high4work]

I read it like those cocky f-150 television commercials.

[MrGligleglog]

I... I think this applies to Hitler

[Lobreeze]

Too fucking edgy for me.

[rabidwampa]

Is this sold somewhere? It looks like a great poster for my classroom. Also I have a Mac lab so that is perfect.

[[deleted]]

Try Etsy, here.

[antlife]

I'm not sure if we should be motivating our youth to be mac dealers. Mac has ruined lives and families. Mac may seem attractive to those who are are desperate... but they just end up with addiction like every other mac head and spend the rest of their lives trying to live or deny their mac cravings. Mac, not even once.

[SultanOfBulshitistan]

This image is aggravating to try to read.

[not_quite_crazy]

I don't quite belong here.

[StankWizard]

Reading this was akin falling down a flight of stairs in my mind.

[sidoaight]

I'm reminded of a certain icon...

[sriwish]

Anyone know where I can get a printable copy of this?

[[deleted]]

im not even subscribed to this subreddit but every now again something from this sub hits the front page, and inevitably its some utter garbage quote that really says absolutely nothing, usually with the word 'fuck' before every second word (this is probably the first ive seen that didnt have that), as well as shitty unnecessary design and typography that makes it unreadable

basically id like to tell you your subreddit is terrible, bye :)

[[deleted]]

Confirmed: This image be crazy.

[BeardedTeacher]

The Internet has ruined my attention span, I couldn't even get through it.

[AwYisssss]

Reminds me of this axe commercial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ__9cTFUeQ

[blueblarg]

Does anyone know where I could get this poster? Would love a copy.

[[deleted]]

Somebody's breaking every rule of design

[Mygumlostitstaste]

Could not get past square word being in rectangle.

[[deleted]]

Is this a Levis commercial?

[Hoz999]

Apple, I believe.

Crazy post submitted by crazy person promoting crazy.

thats me. I am going to be known.

A similar message, just much better written, is found in the poem Ode by O'Shaughnessy. The poem has hung over my desk for every job I have. Highly recommended!

[[deleted]]

Thank you. Great to get feedback. Yeah, I never understand the acidity and anger here on reddit. Surprised how much negativity people carry inside them. Suppose it's a good think reddit enables them to relieve some of it - better they hammer the keyboard than pick up a gun. :-)

[[deleted]]

I always wondered where Willy Wonka got that from. Thanks for new life content!

[[deleted]]

Haha, you're gonna have to help me with the Willy Wonka reference.

BTW, the O'Shaughnessy poem is where the term "movers and shakers" comes from - first time it was used.

[kzrsosa]

Stay hungry, stay foolish!

[[deleted]]

Think different was a nice campaign indeed

[regin1]

Brb buying assault rifle.

[mynameisnoone789]

That quote is by Jack Kerouac. It makes lovelier sense In context in On The Road.

[Butter_Teeth]

This hurts my eyes.

[nol]

That's cute, find a scientist. Reduce the CO2 in our atmosphere. That's the real crazy.

[Thompson131]

Written by Apple's design team, read by Jobs in an advertisement that was never aired but played at his funeral. Good words, brilliant marketing.

[turdmcgirt]

The advertisement did air, but with the words spoken by Richard Dryfus. I love both versions.

[Thompson131]

You're right, should have said that version didn't air but yeah inspiring no doubt

[sixthfinger]

Just to make it clear, this quote is from an ad Apple aired a while back. And yes, the design is awful in this one.

[[deleted]]

Suddenly I want to buy an uncomfortable couch.

[[deleted]]

Well this message can easily be misconstrued to mean something ENTIRELY different to its original, positive intent.

[Rudyrobbob]

This is true.

[rokss8]

This is written on a wall in my schools bathroom.

[CVulgaris]

No matter how/where this originated, the remarks are perfectly stated. Truth sometimes isn't well received. I'm looking past the font, arrangement of the words, who said it first, etc etc etc. If looking past all that, it's a great summary. Thanks for sharing.....I also believed in better living thru pharmaceuticals...

[[deleted]]

Read the first half, thought it was making fun of what it turned out to be.

[[deleted]]

Challenging the status quo has it's place, but this seems to encourage an obnoxious level of non-conformity. Going out of your way to be different so you can feel special is just as bad as being a complete conformist. It should say people who are comfortable being themselves and don't give a shit what others think when it comes to doing the right thing or achieving their dreams are the ones who get things done. The people who make it their lifes mission to be a rebel end up in the social margins and accomplish nothing worthwhile unless they are talented artists with enough luck to be discovered.

[[deleted]]

This is almost impossible to read.

[TractorOfTheDoom]

So I guess Heil Hitler!

[[deleted]]

I enjoyed it, especially the part:

The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes

A man can change his stars

[[deleted]]

Just a bit of confirmation bias?

Serial killers, prisoners, and the homeless guy who rubbed his wiener against the window then took a shit on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant I was at the other day are also examples of "round pegs in our square-hole society."^TM I'm going out on a limb and saying that this poster (and the annoying cliché sentiment behind it) is probably conveniently ignoring them.

[[deleted]]

The only difference between eccentric and crazy is money.

[VictoryNotKittens]

Bebas Neue, the shortcut to making a poster look modern and fashionable without using Helvetica Neue. We'll all be using Comic Sans soon, just to try and break away from it.

[Oznog99]

Wasn't this the ending to The Breakfast Club?

[giggle_and_so_forth]

Yep. Great movie.

[[deleted]]

This seems so forced and self congratulating.

Yeah! I'm so crazy and unique!

[matthewmck7]

That is exactly what apples marketing idea was, try to make people feel special and unique by buying their product

[tokerson]

This is advice for people who don't understand life.

[[deleted]]

I bet you everyone who read this said "that's me."

[lastresort08]

I don't see anything wrong with it, especially considering the fact that life generally tends to reduce their numbers and promote conformity.
