										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I unashamedly <em>love</em> <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/qr/">QR Codes</a>.  But every so often, I see one which makes me wonder if there should be some sort of licence for creating them :-)</p>

<p>As I was walking around Camden the other day, I spotted this monstrosity.</p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/edent/status/195821456859480064"><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Large-and-Silly-QR-code.jpeg" alt="A ridiculously large and complex QR code advertising a casino" width="1024" height="768" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23925"></a></p>

<p>I figured with a code that dense, it probable contained a URL to a rubbish iPhone app, or perhaps a link stuffed full of tracking parameters.</p>

<p>Still, what the heck, I scanned it.</p>

<p>What's the bloody point in that?</p>

<p>Here's a guide on "How Not To Screw Up With QR Codes" which I presented at <a href="http://teacamp.co.uk/2012/06/teacamp-14-jun-2012-qr-codes/">TeaCamp</a> earlier this year.</p>
