Bad Design Now Has Its Natural Predator
Don’t you feel relief when reading such a headline? If, everyone of us does a good work, we will have no longer browse through badly designed websites (I have this theory that there will always be bad Frontpage 1990s design around no matter what evolution strikes the Internet), hardly appealing Microsoft Word (This is not a publishing tool for posters or any kind of higher quality agglomeration of text) and a thoughtless use of Comic Sans. Don’t you hate that font too? Does it bug you every time you spot one poster saying: PARTY in Comic Sans?
There is help for you. First, go to the bancomicsans.com website (Did you know every time somebody is using a Comic Sans and some sort of derivation of it, a bunny is being punched in the face? - link funny picture)! Second, get yourself a kit of DESIGN POLICE equipment. With that in your pocket you can always point out bad design and HELP the offender with an bad-design intervention. Everyone can print it out and make the world a more appealing place. Thank you.
My eyes.
P.S.: Do not put any kind of design police sticker onto my blog. Don’t cha dare!

Haha the girl is the poster in Faye from questionablecontent.net
I wonder if it’s legally used…
Anyway, that’s one of my favorite online comics :-D
sei froh dass es keine internetpolizei für unnötige seiten gibt!!!
*MUAHAH*
HAHA… Great post and I love the design police link.
I’m not a fan of Comic Sans either, but people use it all over the place to convey ‘hand-written’ typography. It sucks, and there are way better fonts for that but Comic Sans happens to be at the top of the font list (alphabetically) so an easy target.
