The short film also raises some serious issues though, like who the heck comes up with the names for these fonts? And has anybody ever used wingdings for anything? Why exactly is that font taking up space in Windows?

Actually, when I took a Media Presentation course in high school, we were taught to use wingding fonts for custom bullet points on Word documents and PowerPoints. Still, it is a really pointless font.

When I worked in the software industry there were a number of programmers i knew who used windings (typically the same people who create highly personalized mappings for their keyboards), although more recently when I pursued a degree in computer science at the same university as many of those programmers, I don't recall any of my peers, professors or teaching assistants ever using windings. Trends like this tend to recycle, though.

I use WingDings sometimes in my tech documents because of the arrows it provides. Allows me to create simple diagrams in Word without the big leap to a Visio diagram, or the dreadful Word drawing tools. Just for a quick fix.

This was full of narrow stereotypes and has about the same comedic depth as a Benny Hill sketch.
In other words, it's hilarious! Open mailbox indeed.

the wingdings part was seriously hilarious, when he starts spouting off random characters... some of the personifications were so good!
