The Onion Takes Down Long Reviled Comic Sans


New Study Explains Why Comic Sans Font So Hilarious (Season 1: Ep 8 on IFC)

Comic Sans
, one of the most vomitous, disgusting typefaces ever foisted upon humanity, gets a tongue-in-cheek comeuppance by "America's Most Trusted News Source" - The Onion.

While this is really humorous, what is significant about the clip is that it exemplifies the raised consciousness the average person now has about typefaces. And that alone is noteworthy.

Brilliant.
