Comic sans has clubs and forums dedicated to hating it.

Comic sans hate has always seemed like a profound waste of time to me. Appreciating great typography and critiquing bad typography are worthwhile, but Comic sans has been bashed into the ground so many times that hating it out loud is beyond cliche. Comic sans hate is essentially a bad meme.

You're right, it's definitely become cliche to hate on Comic Sans. That said, using it for your default font is the equivalent of wearing an ugly christmas sweater year round.

It is the font you can say you hate and be sure that no one will call you on it. http://vimeo.com/17450666 is a funny video

Very funny. Hope you don't mind but I'm posting it.
