Good morning. I'm A Martinez. Sometimes you got to make your own fun. Utah resident Cory Winn decided³ to rent a billboard and print the name of a famous rock band in the worst-possible font. So he rented one in the city of Murray and wrote Weezer in comic sans. A picture of the sign on social media caught the band's attention, and now it's rented a billboard in Murray.
