Title: XKCD Sucks Sucks
Post by: Snail on May 27, 2011, 07:32:22 am
I used to like this website
http://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com/
Then today
Star Wars References (http://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com/2011/05/comic-902-more-star-wars-references.html)
WHAT THE **** IS THIS ****
That was STAR TREK reference, you ****ER, not a ****ING STAR WARS reference ****WITS.
Jesus Christ, I have not been more pissed off in my life.

Sounds like someone has had too much to drink?

To be fair, although XKCD is occasionally brilliant, it's been taking longer and longer between the true gems...
I still visit regularly hoping for those, but my expectations continue to glide downward.
Battuta may have a convert.

Well don't waste your time on xkcdsucks.com, it's good for trolling the die-hard but you don't really want to devote too much of your blog reading to the haters.

Hey snail, the SW reference is "Kalendas", not the whole shebang about "Darmok and Jalad... in tanagra".
Get it?
That's why he's saying that the joke is boring.
But I'm with GB here, don't mind the haters, they'll drag you towards Curmudgeonosity.

Fear not, I concluded the blog was dumb after it's first debut here. :)

My mentality is the same as Sushi's at this point.

On the subject of xkcd, Wednesday's was fairly interesting. Not so much for the joke, but for the alt-text:
Spoiler:
Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy"
As a short test, I searched "Frankfurter" and it actually worked! I was a little weirded out.
