My professor for an Engineering Technical Writing class used this font in -every- printout we were given. My disgust knew no bounds. In a class where marks were lost for using the wrong font (serif vrs sans serif), I couldn't believe that this was her font of choice. This campaign warms my heart.
Comic sans sucks and it always will. People who use it have no sense of professionalism. Aside from Kindergarten room posters, the font should NEVER be used!
Although perhaps instead of banning the font outright we should institute a five day waiting period so that we can perform background checks on everyone concerned?
I feel like I've found a support group of people who share my extreme hatrid for a disgustingly overused font. Thank you so much for starting this movement. I HATE COMIC SANS!!!!!
I don't just want Comic Sans banned, I want it dipped in acid then microwaved with tinfoil then I want the ashes shot into space with a trajectory toward a black hole. For starters.Thank you.
The most dreadful font of all times -- abused by many. I once refused to sign a contract with an employer because it was set in Comic Sans MS. They changed the font in the contract, otherwise I'd not have worked there.
I had no idea there were so many other people like me out there. I've been hating Comic Sans for so long, and I didn't know I could share this hatred with anyone until now. It's nice not to feel alone.
Lisa VolksWagen - where are you coming from, comparing varieties of sweeteners to font types? No one forces you to eat sugar, while the indecent infringements of comic sans into our daily lives are absolutely beyond our control. What if you were handed a death certificate of a close relative in comic sans? or a diagnosis from the hospital describing a fatal cancer? I bet you'd reconsider your position then.
The only reason this font shouldn't be banned is that it identifies its users as lazy and hopelessly un-hip.However, I am perfectly happy to find a new way to tag people I should ignore, if it means never seeing ComicSans again.
I also do not support this ban on comic sans font usage because you have been unable to convince me how it effects "health" as you so inappropriately categorized it.
Although it says above that "I Support This"...it didn't give me the opportunity to change it; therefore impeding my right to free speech!
I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS because it is the most ludicrous petition I have ever read in my life.
What's next? A quest to ban NutraSweet and Sweet-n-Low because it is a blasphemy to the history of black americans who slaved in the sugar cane fields?
Give me a break!
As a graphic design major, a student in my class tried to convince me that comic sans was a "classic font" right up there with Times New Roman and Garamond. RIGHT.
There's only one place for comic sans - a comic book, it's a joke.
Thank God there's still brains in some people's skulls. Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks Comic Sans is horrid and shouldn't even be named a font! Let's put an end to this ridiculous situation.
i know someone (that´s real!) who said the words "comic sans" three times in a row instead of his bathroom mirror. i never saw him again....JOHNNY!!! WHERE ARE YOU??!!!?
