    It annoys me as I am all about blending.

    However, it might help with ad blindness and I get the feeling that eventually we will be able to choose the font for our ads.

    They are probably just testing right now to see if there is a CTR deviation with other fonts using a large scale random test with all mid range/low range publishers.

    Just noticed this as well, and was going to start a thread about it - but there is already this one.
    I have a couple ad blocks appearing on top of each other - at the moment, it looks completely screwed up with each block using a different font. And yes - it looks like Comic Sans !!! Of all fonts to experiment with, why have they gone with one of the world's most hated ???

    I've seen it too :)

    At least the occasional change does focus attention.

    Not only the font families, but font sizes also. I've seen two different sizes of serif font (Times New Roman, probably) a couple of days ago.
