This would have been a much more appealing chart with this source image. Hell, I cc0’d the damn thing so you wouldn’t even have to attribute it to me.
Maybe I will do this later today.

This is childish nonsense. Healthy dose of salt req'd. Click for Serious Cosmo.
I like my second-ever CC0 work better. Far, far more exploitable.
dropped my first-ever work under a CC0 license today. Felt kinda odd…

Internet Charts: You’re Doing Them Wrong
Venn diagrams really don’t lend themselves to this sort of data set—clearly art represented here exists at varying degrees along two axes: stoner and douche. An XY plot makes a whole lot more sense, especially considering how many individual points are presented—I can’t even tell if LOLCats or Stained Glass is more stoner!
While this style of chart is very much in vogue—a meme, you might say—it really only works for discrete, “and/or” comparisons. I realize it’s a joke, but most of the humor therein stems from the logical and valid presentation of an absurd set of data. And this setup just doesn’t deliver.
Also, lossy compression? For a line drawing? PNG or GTFO. I bet they didn’t even make this in Illustrator/Inkscape.
