Ban the Comic Sans Typeface (Font)!
A Phrase that is bound to baffle French readers ‘Bans Comic Sans’ (It translates as “round of applause comic without”!) is a protest about the overuse or misuse of the 12 year old Microsoft Font. 
As they say “The typeface has been used in countless contexts from
restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These
widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very
foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built.”
Hence this website. I must confess I have, in the past committed crimes against good taste in the use of Fonts. Repeated exposure to toxic pages has left me with a minimalistic approach to font usage. Fewer is better. But I do still occasionally use Comic Sans. I suspect this site should be taken with a big piece of salt!
