xkcd vs. MATT

xkcd Gives Me Hope
I'm a huge fan of xkcd. I think it's the very best thing on the web right now, and I secretly want to marry Randall Monroe.

This comic made me smile an awful lot, and I had to share it with everyone.

Randall, if you ever read this, I'm cute and single. Ask me about my math tattoo. And I'm totally willing to move to Boston.

xkcd vs batshit right-wing (minus dan lacey to make it almost fair)

way too funny

XKCD is for those of us who realize life is not all about happy endings and trophy wives and who is better than who and all that shit. It's for those of us who live in reality. It's for the intelligent. It's for the insane.

well it's not for me then cuz i am all about trophy wives.

yeah if you're not about a happy ending with a trophy wife then I don't want to know you

It's for those of us who live in reality. It's for the intelligent. It's for the insane.

are these supposed to be the same people or three different kinds of people?

I hope that those who live in reality aren't also insane, because that says something pretty stupid about reality.

dude it sez REALITY MAKES US INSANE

that said that is one of the worst slogans i have ever heard

"my hobby"

this isn't even close

This isn't entirely relevant but uh, I went to a meeting to hear from this activist from Oaxaca and on the board there was a huge message saying 'XKCD-DO NOT DELETE'
And...it was weird because no one discussed it at all.
Anyway I loves these, they are very cute, good lolz

What kinda meetin was that, Verona??

You see it's funny because models don't eat much food! ROFL!

Seriously, though, Private Eye pulls this shit every issue in their "Models" cartoon and it just comes across as misogynist rubbish.

True, but xkcd is even more perniciously sexist.

Seriously, though, Private Eye pulls this shit every issue in their "Models" cartoon and it just comes across as misogynist rubbish.

But surely it's just misomodelist.

Maybe misogynist is the wrong word, but it's basically "lol eating disorders" which is pretty off IMO.

hmmm, maybe you've got something there. should we re-evaluate our uncritical love of MATT?

MATT is for those of us who realize life is not all about happy endings and trophy wives and who is better than who and all that shit. It's for those of us who live in reality. It's for the intelligent. It's for the insane.

It's made you think hasn't it!

But if PBF did it?

The artwork would be better.

hear hear. the cartoons in Private Eye are almost uniformly rubbish, in fact, aren't they.

PS xkcd is great so ner.

^^^ Sentence 3 invalidates Sentence 2.

If you actively like xkcd then I can never respect anything you have to say about anything.

(should have been the title for this thread. all the matt stuff turned out to be a red herring.)
