If you want to strike fear and shreaking terror on any graphic designer, just mention the font "Papyrus". This is the most overused and poorly designed font on the market. It screams amateur and is no doubt the first typeface that any design school will tell students to avoid like the plague. I stumbled upon a great website that furthers the cause of shining a light on this hideous font. In addition, this coincides with a recent viewing of the film Avatar where I was rolling in my seat as the subtitles were in...Papyrus!! and outlined to boot! (another no no) I can't believe that this made it through production. My design teacher feels that this was most likely Cameron demanding it without knowledge of what he was really doing. Who knows.
