Title: Lebron James Told Off Using Comic Sans

I'm surprised Comic-Sans is used so much. Teachers seem to love it as well...

There are so many better fonts, like Constantia.

I always use comic sans when I'm acting all buttsore about a business decision made by someone with no legal or moral ties to do business with me, too!  I find it captures that emotion perfectly.  Oh, and I like the rounded edges, they're sexy like boobies.

Vincent Connare, inventor of Comic Sans, said

If you love Comic Sans, you don't know anything. If you Hate Comic Sans, and you do know typography, you need to find another passtime.

Too bad trebuchet MS isn't used as much, it looks better than comic sans.

Times New Roman, MS Sans Serif, and Courier are good fonts instead of that cream cheese "Comic Sans".
