Unfortunately, mankind does not have the ability to restrict the use of tacky fonts to non-professional settings. Because of that, Comic Sans must be banned to save those poor souls from themselves.
As a graphic design professional who critiqued a graduate portfolio built upon the misguided crutch of Comic Sans, I wholeheartedly endorse this petition's efforts.
Why ban it you douchebag, its a freakin font, and you suck for writing all that crap about it you elephant dung eating child molester. BAN COMIC SANS!!!
I don't know much about typography or comic sans, but I agree. Also, due to the first amendment, this cannot be "legally" banned, but if this gets enough attention, people will stop using this in unnecessary circumstances.
I am a business studies teacher. I can't stand it when students hand in their coursework and have written it with COMIC BLOODY SANS. I'm teaching Business studies - not bloody circus skills!
Comic Sans has resulted in infantilizing and trivializing untold numbers of issues, contributing (albeit in its small way) to political apathy and the elevation of the mundane.
Comic Sans is one of the most truly crappy fonts ever. I can't believe that people think it's 'cute' or 'stylish' or 'like, so much better than, like, all those other fonts!'
Finally! I thought I was the only one that hated this font with the fury of a white-hot sun. It's become the epitome of kitschy fonts. After this, we need to ban Papyrus; that one's almost as bad.
I've always disliked the look of Comic sans. I have never used it myself and I cringe whenever I see used inappropriately. Thanks for starting this campaign!
There's nothing comical about the virus-carrying pox on typefaces known as Comic Sans. It enters the brain through the eye and vectors directly to the typo-frontal cortex where it anaesthetizes the hapless viewer into a state of mind-numbing catatonia, the symptoms of which are induced foggy-thinking, IQ reduction and the uncontrollable spewing forth of benign but meaningless gibberish either in verbal or written form. And that, my fellow petitioners, IS NOT COMICAL!
I worked in TV for a decade, and was constantly refusing relentless, almost daily requests to use this moronic font. I'm not in TV anymore -- but thank you for attempting to get this one off the books, so to speak. yeck.
