It was what they wanted. I wasn't able to talk them into stopping using the font-face papyrus. They wanted me to do some graphic design but I refused to use papyrus so they thought I wasn't good at it.

"Welcome to the about us page." It just doesn't work. You make a good point about not making them feel stupid, though. Clients don't want to give money to someone who's arrogant.

I had a former client call me up and ask about my thoughts on background music... for an ecommerce site of all things. I've learned to never force talk them out of anything but give them a list of the positives and negatives. Generally, if the negatives out-weight the positives (and they usually do) the client will opt to drop the idea. Good post. Ugh, background music.
