    Misunderstanding USA – Caption contest

    By jim On 6 June 2006 · 10 Comments · In Cool Geek Tricks

    I’ve been playing with StumbleUpon and came across this:

    from a site whose moniker is
    communicating information about the US. The graphs did make me think… is this intentionally trying to be confusing?

    What clever caption would you add under this graph?

      And so you see, based on the relevant data, that the Mudville Nine never stood a chance.

      I told you not to buy those nesting dolls from that Venusian space trader. I guess you get what you pay for.

      Alternate caption:

      The multiple, time-releases layers of Confusium(tm) ensure that you don’t care that your government constantly lies to you while big business picks your pocket.
