Comic Sans may be banned!
« on: April 19, 2009, 10:43:12 pm »
Wow. After playing Elona for a while I noticed this on Yahoo!

Apparently it is "the bane of graphic designers, other aesthetes and Internet geeks." =\

How can you 'ban' Comic Sans anyway? Just pressure Word Processors to drop it?

Come to think of it, the article doesn't exactly explain what's so bad about Comic Sans.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

It's important to wear lots of face paint while you program. And you can type with your long Gene Simmons tongue.

I would support banning Wingdings though. Wingdings is just silly.
No one really uses wingdings that much anymore, It was used as boarders or something in old text documents.
also its damn fun to write in.

Honestly, Comic Sans is overused to the point where it really is almost an embodiment of the sloth and ignorance of the cretins who use it.

I always assumed the lazinest and the vulgarist font was Times New Roman. Seriously, it's the default, so if you don't change it, you must be lazy and vuglar.
