    The hard part on this one-- the sheer simplicity of this. And the amount of people who will complain.

    It's hard to tell--- maybe this is just the perfect ironic April Fools Joke, a modern-day tongue-in-cheek rebellion against the internet's unhealthy obsession with April Fools Day.

    Jokes are an art form and perhaps this is the 'contemporary art' version of the Spaghetti-tree hoax.

    Maybe it's the April Fools Day version of Canvas Painted Blue with a White Line.

    You also have to consider that Comic Sans is a crime against all of humanity.

    The font itself is fine if it's used for its original intention of text in comic strip bubbles. The abuse of it is the crime. It's been abused so much that real comic artists won't touch it either!
