This is actually clever, so I think this graph falls into that tiny green slice.

I’m wondering if “raising the bar” is a purposeful pun intended to reinvigorate the use of bar graphs. Or was it just accidental. Either way, Cheers!

this is either very ironic and funny…

or it fails really really hard.

Actually, coincidences have nothing to do with irony. Irony is when the opposite of the expected occurs. So this kind of fits, seeing as how it seems the creator was fed up with the circle graphs described one would expect them to not use such a graph to depict their frustration.
-
i⋅ro⋅ny
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
2. Literature.
a. a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
b. (esp. in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.
3. Socratic irony.
4. dramatic irony.
5. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.
6. the incongruity of this.

When you’re in the user-generated content business, you want to make it easy for more users to generate content. That’s the theory, anyway…

ARGH! WHAT THE HELL! I submitted one EXACTLY like this like 3 months ago and it got knocked back… sigh.

By: Crazy

Or, rather, it would be ironic if the poster clearly created it in this fashion (big/little slices) accidentally. It’s blatantly intentional as part of the joke. It’s more hypocritical if anything.

By: Crazy

Crazy — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:22:30 +0000

…You all fail miserably. Something is usually considered ironic if it is uncannily coincidental. This isn’t ironic at all, it’s TRUE.

By: tristara

tristara — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:11:33 +0000

Agreed. I wish they had not put in the builder, as now people with no knowledge of graphs can make them and post them.
no knowledge = stupid graphs

I was getting ready to craft a chart saying the exact thing. You did it better than I would have. These charts do get monotonous.

I was thinking the SAME DAMNED THING about that one stretch of those kinds of pie charts!!

By: Carolyn

Carolyn — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:42:39 +0000

Agreed. Is there no moderation? There really should be someone weeding through the junk to filter out the good stuff from the bad. Or, if there is, maybe they should let less of the same-old-same-old through? Just a thought.

Still Loves GraphJam,

Its the problem with the builder thing, it means its too easy for any idiot to make some second rate rubbish whereas 90% of the good graphs on here couldn’t be made with it.

Thanks for posting our thoughts in a clever form, TheGrimp. Fun With Charts used to be quite clever but seems to be taken over by dolts lately who can’t make more than stupid pie charts. Hope this will raise the bar again.

I saw this one on my RSS reader and came to the website with a comment in mind: “So true…”. But someone else just left this message. So I second TheGremp.
