Looking for something a little more lighthearted for your lorem ipsum text? Check out this page, which links to all sorts of fun lorem ipsum text generators. Most of them don’t actually use “lorem ipsum” in the text, but instead generate random text based on a theme.

Give “Coffee ipsum,” “Cheeseburger ipsum,” or “Zombie ipsum” a try here. Just keep in mind that the text from one of these might distract the people reviewing your layout.
