Well, as this Google Analytics report shows, the initial launch of The Hall of Lame has been somewhat less than stellar. Gotta call it like I see it.

This font is about as lame as a font can get. Look how many idiots use it inappropriately:

No matter what it was originally designed for, so many people misuse it that it needs to be banned from computers going forward. Really, it’s nauseating. If you’re thinking “oh, it’s not so bad” that only means you’re one of “them” and you have no design sense whatsoever. It’s not cute, and it doesn’t make people feel like you took the time and trouble to ‘hand write’ your email. It makes you appear unprofessional, and it’s a lame font for losers.
