  Meh. So few people actually care about this that it seems a futile gesture at best.

  The audience for this type of website is not the same audience of people who typically use Comic Sans.

  Note that Comic Sans is a popular font because it's included with Microsoft Word and therefore easily accessible by many people. Fancy Web 2.0 fonts are not.

  Oh yay! A tall website, with clicking for scrolling! Yay!</sarcasm>

  The people making those signs are probably not the people reading HN.

  Maybe if Microsoft Word contained a tutorial on what typography is appropriate for different situations people would start to understand.

  It must be ironic.

  Why else would they poke so much fun at other people's design choices and then center every line of text?
