Unholy Missives Delivered by Tortoise

Art experiments. Short things that are interesting. This won't be a full blog, but then a post my not stand on it's own. Generally work-safe.

(via ilovecharts) This is one of the ilovecharts guy’s personal charts. I love his tumblr, but this chart is just dumb, and shows a lack of knowledge of what a Venn Diagram is.  If we accept that, by definition, Tweens are not old (They may be either or both creepy or guys, but that doesn’t matter).  Then the intersection — the overlapping parts of the two circles — is by definition the empty set.  No Tweens are Old, All Creepy Old Guys are Old, No Tweens are Creepy Old Guys. I get the social commentary, okay? I don’t think this one is particularly funny, unless he’s trying to say that no one is a Twilight fan.  I’m pretty sure that’s wrong.  If he’s trying to say that Twilight fans are made up of Tweens and Creepy Old Guys then he has the wrong chart.  {As someone who is probably a Creepy Old Guy, I can categorically state that not All Creepy Old Guys are Twilight Fans.}
