Magic pen writes in Helvetica!
Ahhhh… technology. The geniuses at Plexifilm have spent the past two years developing a Sharpie pen that actually writes in Helvetica! This pen is so experimental that it’s priceless… literally. You can’t buy one, but you can get one free with any Helvetica merchandise purchase (DVD, T-shirt, etc.). Get your free pen while they last. It’s a great gift for that person in your life with sloppy handwriting…
* Warning: if you are John Downer or Marian Bantjes then the pen will actually write in Helvetica. Otherwise, your results may vary. Do not swallow. Keep away from open flame and co-workers. May cause drowsiness.

I hear there is another company working on a cheaper alternative, apparently it will let you write in Arial!

If i swallow it, will it still write in Helvetica? What if I’m south of the equator? If i set it on fire south of the equator, will it cure my jetlag?

Please God. Helvetica OK, but Comic Sans no.

What about a pen that writes in more than one font? And how do you get a pen like this without percussing anything along with it (http://plexifilm.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=377_12736)?
