We made this to be used as a reply when pictures are misused where text would be better:

I’m disappointed the rendered picture isn’t advanced CSS. I honestly expected that to be the case.

I hope someone accepts this challenge!

It should have been animated.

It should have been a .swf and required a plugin to be installed to see it.

Why ruin the message by writing half of it upside down?

Yep, as the sibling said, it’s to prove the point in a snarky manner. The yellow-on-white color, the wobbling, upside down path of text, the font choice, the unrelated image; all of these serve to make the concept actively hard to process.

Hopefully this sparks a little “wow I wonder if my image of text was also hard to read like I just experienced” moment.

It actually enhances the message by being harder to read.
