I live in a relatively small Southern California city, so we just call them Black Guys 1-3.

P.S. That was a joke. There's at least 4 black guys in Brea.

Heh. Graphic designers and layout techs use much worse as placeholders, not that they are often specifically bigoted or anything - and not that this is.

It just helps diffuse the monotony, and helps designers remember to actually go change the placeholder copy to the real thing. Something like "Fricken weird-ass hair chick" stands out a bit more than "name1234" or something mundane like that.

My gf brought an unfinished layout home from work the other day that was a "Care and maintenance" manual for vehicle wraps, and some of the placeholder text was stuff like "Don't fuck on the hood of the car for at least 72 hours" and "Running people over may damage the wrap" or something like that.

Just a disclaimer that this post may offend the sock puppet "Alex Reynolds", and s/he may ask for an apology.
