Yet another attempt by Google to control our words and by proxy, our minds. Once everyone depends on this font API to make their social mobisodes pretty, Google will do some clever pixel altering to insert favorable articles about itself into the New York Times. They'll change the Chinese government's website to say "we suck", and a virtual stop-hitting-yourself slapfight will spillover into real world bloodshed.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Nah, they just want to move people out of making graphics they can't crawl/translate/etc and instead encourage people to use a textual format that Google (and anyone else) can index.

Naturally, the most insightful comment so far is a reply to a massively-downvoted "wake up sheeple" post.
