ofcourse the whole URL should have used that font, from the article:

MICROSOFT OFFERS STUDENTS CUT-PRICE INFURIATING CRAP

STUDENTS can have Windows 7 irritate the shit out of them for a reduced
fee of £30, Microsoft has announced.

'Microsoft applications have really encouraged me to blow up the library'

The offer is a massive reduction on the standard £80 price tag, but with
the same range of state-of-the-art features specifically designed to send
you hurtling towards the very brink of violent insanity.

The company said the operating system will be ready to download from 22
October and after clicking through all the user agreements and restarting
your system 85 times it should be ready to install unsuccessfully by
Christmas.

A Microsoft spokesman said: "This is a great opportunity for young people
to claw at their skulls and scream 'no, no, no, I do not want to load any
more fucking updates, you utterly horrifying box full of evil' while
trying to arrange cups of coffees and study sessions with their new
college pals."
