A placeholder that gets your frustration

There’s something quite beautiful about lorem ipsum placeholder text, a scrambled version of a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, but if you spend too long staring at it, waiting for creative inspiration to come, it can get a little terrifying.

Lorem Fucking Ipsum however, is designed by Good Fucking Design Advice for “people who have some fucking passion” but are “struggling to come up with their next great concept”.

You can generate as many words or paragraphs of it as you want, all coming in either Helvetica Neue or Neue Haas Grotesk font.

Examples of paragraph openers include: “Remember it’s called the creative process, it’s not the creative fucking moment,” and “The details are not the details. They make the fucking design.”

Now I just need a version of Siri that, instead of telling me who co-starred with Tommy Lee Jones in 1998 film U.S. Marshals, tells me to finish that fucking screenplay.
