Ban Comic Sans on DR2 Udland (Danish national TV)

I got to interview Dave and Holly, the founders of bancomicsans.com, for the Danish foreign news programme DR2 Udland. It was aired on Friday 22 Oct 2010.

they should be called 'Just Use Helvetica'

@rooneyrythm Their point is not that you use one font, it's that you use nice fonts.

COMIC SAAAAAAAAAAANS!

It's just a font, big deal. Calibri is my favorite, i don't give a fuck about Comic Sans. Times new roman is pretty, Calibri is flat-out scandinavian standards.

If I get 5 thumbs up I will go up to my vice principal and shake my fist saying "COMIC SAAAAAANS!"

why would you care?! i don't get it, yes its over used and it may not fit in some places but come on why care about something so small it really is not a big deal

I hate that font where every letter has a picture next to it that represents the letter.

@cbader92 Normally I say Comic Sans lige the Combses do (mostly because I don't want it to sound fancy), but we agreed to say the French word 'sans' as in French to avoid complaints from linguistic fundamentalists.

@dustyreece The Danish journalists here seem to use the French pronunciation in lack of knowledge... Normally in Danish we just use the English way of saying it: "Sands" (plural of "sand"?) without "d"

If I was gay, I'd write only in comic sans
