In a similar spirit of 'Oh God why must such weapons be put in the hands of the foolish', here are some more graphs (as passed to me by Mr infov0re).

"flashturbation" on the "wheel of marketing misfortune".

Also I would not agree at all with their contention that genius is the overlap of "manic" and "depression".

You are a genius.

The OMG-WTF Spectrum is just perfect for this, I think.

I also like the social experience one - "The Basics (often broken)" - hee!

I think I may have to show this to A. later, so he can steal them for presentations and run a sweepstake on how long it takes people to notice...

What are you on about, 193%* is a completely normal size for a pie chart! It's just a bigger pie than usual!

*F@ck, I hope I counted that right or I'm going to look like a complete knob, aren't I?
