That's so funny. I just heard a report on Nancy Pelosi Radio the other day, on Helvetica being everywhere in advertisement and street signs. Will the font wars ever end!!

In my opinion, the big dumb red Futura Extra Bold for big dumb comedies is wearing out its welcome a lot faster than Trajan. At least they can think of more than one way to present it.
For a recent project in my public relations course, one group member chose to do an entire PowerPoint presentation in Comic Sans. I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

The college radio station I DJ at has been running a two-year campaign against ComicSans. As is mandatory for the campaign to gain any headway on a college campus, it has been meta-semi-selfreferenially ironic, with all flyers done in, yes, ComicSans.
We're so edgy.

I hear ya Alessandra! The best thing to do is use ALL the fonts and colours! Especially if your content is a bit shaky, this will provide a captivating distraction for your audience. :)
