xkcd vs. MATT

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.)

well blame my lame-but-obscure sense of humour. and my rampant emo-nerdism.

It's generally a sensible precaution never to respect anything I say about anything ever.

^^^realest of talk

It's true, but it's not that funny.

PS I also like dinosaur comics.

so sue me.

uggh seriously dude??

He writes the date funny like britishers.

Nah, we do it the other way round, that is the way that scandinavians and geeks use. (Write the date in that order and computers can sort things by date in numerical sorts)

lol, i don't know much apparently.

A summary of the international standard date and time notation

lol the cheque is for two-tenths of a cent. kill me.

(if that's wrong then it's because i'm drunk)

gosh i just spent five minutes trying to remind myself how to do sums to infinity before realising how drastically not worth it this was

i would imagine the gag is that it adds up to two cents, not sure what the middle glyph is in the e^((some thing)(pi)), the last bit is the sum of 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 etc

or, lol high school math

e^iπ = -1 (Euler's Equation)

sum to infinity = first term/1 - ratio = (1/2)/(1 - 1/2) = 1 in this case

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.

so he's admitting that its for 14 year olds?

Geohashing, because geocaching wasn't nerdy enough.

Hey guys. I've got this great idea. Let's go meet up in the middle of some random farm and play board games!

He can find all those co-ordinates on a map, yet he still can't locate a decent hairdresser or a gym. A real tragedy.

Come on, that SUV one is worth a snicker.

He could have done without either the caption or the last panel

Also I love how he specifies 'light' bondage so it seems feasible that he's getting some but no one outs him as a freak

he could have gone without lying about the whole goddam deal

Oh yeah and the whole 'not our fault' pseudo-irony thing is fucking annoying

xpost yeah "my hobby" indeed

he could have gone without lying about the whole goddam deal

??

the girlfriend he doesn't have that isn't into bondage light or otherwise that he didn't fuck on the camping trip he didn't go on stfu you lying fucking nerd with the shittiest comic ever

Uh, I don't see where it says "this is autobiographical". There's plenty of shit in that comic that clearly isn't.

xkcd apologist!

Naah, I just don't like it when people ascribe all kinds of stuff to something just because they dislike it, rather than because it's really there. That said, I don't have a problem with xkcd; there are so many things far more deserving of annihilation.
