Oh, Comic Sans…

Hahaha, wow, I thought I was anal about fonts. In truth, I kinda started to feel sorry for Comic Sans once I began typing it into Google and found, within the first few lines of suggestions, these:

“Comic Sans should die”

“Comic Sans is not a font”

And:

“The Combs’ site also reported the Ontario New Democratic Party included the clause ‘Ban the font known as Comic Sans’ in its recent omnibus ban bill, proposed at the 2005 session of Ontario Model Parliament in Canada. However, the message was signed under ‘NDP Against Comic Sans’, leading to doubts of the validity of the claim. Further investigation revealed it was from a youth model parliament.”

Apparently people feel that it is overused (not going to argue there) and that it should be taken off computers.

Also, this: http://bancomicsans.com/home.html

The funny thing about this site is the fact that their bumper stickers, reading “Ban Comic Sans,” are written in Comic Sans. Doesn’t that completely go against their goal?

What’s even funnier is the fact that I can’t tell if this is a joke site or not. People are just crazy enough to try and ban a font.
