Mommy, why is the H giving a HJ to the J?

From the Times Herald-Record of Hudson, NY:

"Monroe — Some Monroe-Woodbury School District parents received an unexpected refresher course in the ABCs of sex last week.

An inappropriate font inadvertently was used as the cover sheet for a third-grade spelling curriculum at Pine Tree Elementary School in Monroe. The font depicts male and female stick figures contorted into various kinky positions to form the letters of the alphabet.

The spelling packet was handed out to parents of third-graders, not the students, at an open house. School officials noticed the tawdry font after receiving a few calls from concerned parents and immediately sent a letter home to parents apologizing for the mistake on Friday.

Administrators said the teacher who used the font did not do so intentionally or maliciously."

This story has gotten a lot of play on the Web and in the "wacky wire stories" filler space of newspapers, but none of these sources actually carried pictures of the font. But Dr. Don't Know is not gonna settle for some hearsay nonsense. So I dug down deep to the source and hit paydirt. Mad props to the Herald-Record for not only breaking this crucial story, but exposing the obscene handout for all the world to see! Behold, the famous and forbidden X-rated font!
