Typeface Inspired by Comic Books Has Become a Font of Ill Will
kind of a long read so i won't post the whole thing here but i fully agree, shitcan that font. 
from the WSJ...
Vincent Connare designed the ubiquitous, bubbly Comic Sans typeface, but he sympathizes with the world-wide movement to ban it.
Mr. Connare has looked on, alternately amused and mortified, as Comic Sans has spread from a software project at Microsoft Corp. 15 years ago to grade-school fliers and holiday newsletters, Disney ads and Beanie Baby tags, business emails, street signs, Bibles, **** sites, gravestones and hospital posters about bowel cancer.
The font, a casual script designed to look like comic-book lettering, is the bane of graphic designers, other aesthetes and Internet geeks. It is a punch line: "Comic Sans walks into a bar, bartender says, 'We don't serve your type.'" On social-messaging site Twitter, complaints about the font pop up every minute or two. An online comic strip shows a gang kicking and swearing at Mr. Connare.
The jolly typeface has spawned the Ban Comic Sans movement, nearly a decade old but stronger now than ever, thanks to the Web. The mission: "to eradicate this font" and the "evil of typographical ignorance."

I don't get is?
What is the issue with the font?
Does anyone even use it?
I guess I need a hobby, Hmmm...
Stay safe...

I think it is a nice and bold font, not the usual chicken scratch fonts that most people use.
If it is for meant for comics and reading that is not to be taken seriously then it should be the only available font on the political forum.
