Corporate posters

These pseudo-oriental fonts are just annoying. Besides,
most asian-americans I know speak in flawless sans-serif.

Kanji-riffic

I like situational Kanji. Pictographs created for a specific purpose.
A typical view is that Japanese or Chinese characters are centuries old,
and static.

But in English, new words, phrases and idioms are coined all the time.
Think of a jazz hipster (or a Will Smith song). My view is that new
Kanji can be and are coined all the time. They're just not recognized as
Kanji. Don't you agree, you jiggy bootknocker ?
