FIRST BITCHES!
The John Brownlee sex scandal occurred in 1934 in Alberta, Canada, and forced the resignation of Premier John Edward Brownlee. Brownlee was accused of seducing Vivian MacMillan, a family friend and a secretary for Brownlee’s attorney-general, in 1930 when she was eighteen years old, and continuing the affair for three years. MacMillan claimed that the married premier had told her that she must have sex with him for his own sake and that of his invalid wife. She had, she testified, relented after physical and emotional pressure. Brownlee called her story a fabrication, and suggested that it was the result of a conspiracy by MacMillan, her would-be fiancé, and several of Brownlee’s political opponents in the Alberta Liberal Party.
but, but after he died, did they forgive it all and call him a great man?
Some genuine fans aren’t mourning?
That’s what I was thinking.
and me
people that may be “THE KING LIVES!” kinda crap. i wast too big of a fan and i keep telling people hes faking it in order to get out of playing those 50 shows in england
There is a man I know who swears up and down Jackson cloned himself and the clone died so that Jackson could hide away from the media.
He also says in six months the children will mysteriously vanish to go into hiding with their dad.
i really hope thats true. i wouldnt even hate him for it. that man has been through so much crap. regardless of what he did or didnt do.
I’ll hunt him down.
To whitey-
I wasn’t that big of a fan, but I think the same thing! I totally think he’s faking it to get out of that tour. He seems undecided about trying to make a comeback, maybe nervous because of what happened in the past. He cancelled that other tour and owed a lot of money. He didn’t want to have to do that again!
Yes, according to this graph, all of the genuine fans who never made fun of him are not mourning.
it’d less of not mourning him, than it is resenting all the fake-poseurs.
So, what you’re saying is that all of the people that are mourning his death are both genuine fans and were ridiculing him when he was alive?
yes, my head hurts.
So…the only persons who mourn michael jackson are the ones who both endlessly ridiculed him when he was alive and are genuine fans.
FAIL.
This graph is horrible. Not thought at at all.
Also, I’m in the thin red sliver
I agree
And I’m in the white
Wait, almost all of Michael Jackson’s genuine fans ridiculed him endlessly? Almost all people who ridiculed him endlessly were genuine fans?
o.0
Do you know how one of these charts work?…
One circle has one group, One circle has another group, then they meet in the middle to make another group.
Since you don’t understand how this works I’ll explain the joke to you.
People mourning michael jackson, a large portion is actual fans, but another group is people who made fun of him when he was alive.
They did forget one group though.. People still making fun of him after his death….
A small boy went to visit his grave, it was a successful attempt at rising the dead
You, sir, do not have an accurate grasp on the logic of Venn diagrams. I suggest revising the topic before you try to lecture other people on it.
no, he’s entirely correct.
may i suggest you REVISIT the english language before criticizing someone else’s understanding on a subject they have a perfect handle on.
Are you serious? Venn Diagrams work as such:
You have several groups. (In this case, two.) Each group is represented by a circle. Where the circles overlap, you have things (in this case, people) that are in both groups. Two separate (nonoverlapping) circles represent two groups without items in both.
It truly is a shame that you never paid attention in high school.
That’d be nice, if you were right. Too bad your wrong.
yup, feel quite bad for erich and RiderLeangle. this venn diagram makes no sense at all.
riderleangle doesn’t understand that the diagram is flawed, but his explanation is spot-on… at least in reference to this particular diagram. what he doesn’t understand is that what we all believe the author meant to say is not accurately reflected in the graph.
gah, it’s pointless to argue, because my words are almost guaranteed to be construed all wrong. all i’m saying is he has a correct understanding of the diagram as it’s given.
Sorry RiderLeangle, but I’m pretty sure you’re the one who doesn’t understand how Venn diagrams work here.
The group in the middle is the intersection of the two outer groups. Everyone in the centre belongs to both outer groups, which means that they are both genuine fans and people who ridiculed him endlessly.
The outer groups have a sliver that is exclusive to each of them, meaning that there are some people who are genuine fans that did not ridicule him endlessly (and for some reason are not mourning him now), and some people who ridiculed him endlessly that were not genuine fans (and are not mourning him now, this is the only part of the diagram that makes sense).
Further, because on GraphJam, the relative sizes of the group represents the sizes of the population contained within, the fact that the outer slivers are so much smaller than the inner group means that of the people who were genuine fans, most of them also ridiculed him endlessly. Also, of the people who mocked him endlessly, most were genuine fans.
That is what this graph means, and that is why it makes no sense.
Chal’s right. This one doesn’t make any sense.
If you want to tell a joke, great. But if you want to use a graph to tell a joke, you ought to make sure that the graph actually says what you think it says. Too many submitters here have something funny to say so they make a graph that uses some of the same words the joke used and expect everyone else to just figure out what they meant.
i wish chal had replied earlier so i could have agreed with him instead. chalk up a win for perfect explanation.
Count me in the red also.
Epic Fail! This graph has a funny concept but they made it ALL wrong! Take it down!!
Try again as a pie chart. Have a small sliver as genuine fans and the rest as people who mocked him.
but, then I won’t fit in the chart because I neither mourned him nor riddiculed him. I have done my best to ignore and avoid him since just after Thriller.
Good suggestion. The chart is wrong, but I get the funny concept. A pie diagram of “Michael Jackson Mourners” consisting of 90% Ridiculers and 10% Genuine Fans should be just right.
People who ridiculed MJ are only mourning because they’re gonna miss the Michael Jackson jokes.
I’ll buy that for a dollar.
You forgot the circle about people who couldn’t care less.
The creator forgot the logics of venn diagrams, too.
I agree with Blarg. I’d fall right into that portion.
This graph was quite poorly done.
worst venn diagram ever. am I to understand correctly that every person mourning MJ’s death is a genuine fan who mocked him endlessly while he was alive? Clearly the green circle is not meant to overlap the red circle. But then this graph would just say nothing.
No. What it really needs is a third circle saying “those that mourn Michael Jackson” and have the other two circles intersect/overlap with the third.
Exactly.
this graph isnt right, but i see where you were going with it.
The creator of this graph has no idea about Venn diagrams.
Basically this graph says that if you’re both a genuine MJ fan and at the same time ridiculed him when he was alive, then you are mourning his death… wat
not to be a broken record, but i just thought i would throw in another “graph FAIL” comment b/c this needs to come down it’s so poorly designed. seriously, who screens these things?
How many times are you guys going to point out the fallacy of the graph? After fact poster #1, you don’t really have to do that anymore. Christ.
Really, I don’t even see a problem with the purpose behind this graph. What’s wrong with showing someone respect once they have died, even if you were disrespectful toward his persona (no, not him, most only knew what the media said) during his life? What are they supposed to do? Keep making fun of him? Pretend it didn’t happen? No, this is a time to celebrate his musical legacy. Whether you liked him or not, most won’t deny his impact on the world of popular music.
Time o’ the month?
Uh, wrong gender?
Seriously, grow up.
I’ll just post “LOL GOOD ONE BUT UR GRAPH IZ WRONG” next time instead.
I’ve never heard of those 3 songs, “Boo hoo”, “He’s dead now”, and “Get over it”.
Huh.
-snerk-
WIN
You just pwn3d him.
OMG stop making references to michael jackson. I’m so sick of hearing about that guy. There are much more important things happening in the world right now. Can we please jsut forget he existed.
That’s like asking us to pretend Beethoven never existed.
It is not at ALL like Beethoven.
Last I checked, Beethoven hasn’t completely dominated the “news” for the last few weeks. Even at the time that he died, I seriously doubt that everybody made as big a deal about it as they are about MJ’s death. He may have been a very good and popular musician, but he was still just a musician. I really don’t see any reason why his death should be getting as much attention as it has, to the point where important events in the rest of the world have been practically ignored.
So the genuine fans who didn’t even make fun of him don’t mourn him?
I get what this guy was trying to do, but he failed to do it. A pie chart of “People mourning Micheal Jackson” with 98% “People who made fun of him before his death” and a 2% “True fans” was how it should have been done.
You cannot grasp the true form of MJ’s attack!
im one of the ones that still doesnt care he was 98% plastic so he will be melted down into legos so little kids can still play with him
Sweet ironic revenge.
fail this graph is fail
i rarely say stuff like this, but come one
the concept was good
but the layout… no.
it just doesnt make sense x_x
i also asked my self why people try to make a ven-diagramm to demonstrate quantities.
i don’t get it… MJ was a freak and the people protecting the pervert are deluded.
*shrugs* I’m an MJ fan, and I’d be a liar to say I never laughed at a joke made at his expense. That’s not to say I agree with the sentiments of the jokes; I, for example, don’t believe he was a child molester or a freak in the least, but the jokes themselves were funny. They also perfectly demonstrated just how cruel and ignorant human beings can be when presented with something they don’t understand.
O RLY?
I don’t get it. Just about everyone I know who ridiculed him (I was one of them) are ridiculing his death even more. I challenge you to find one person who fits into the overlap area. This is a MJ phanboi graph who wants to think that MJ’s death suddenly converted even the naysayers to mourners. Epic FAIL!
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
No.
is that a sentence?
Oh! I see. So what what I think Plato is saying that the the graph represents a less than sincere change in social behaviors based on perception of one’s life and what is “expected” to behave after someone dies. We are taught to respect in death regardless of the person’s actions in life.
Either that or he’s saying was indeed a freak-boy, I’m good either way.
Ok. I’m just not getting this at all. Could someone explain what this ’sentence’ means?
There should have been a little dot in the middle of the “mourning” group for me.
where’s the “people who actualy care” and
“people doing it to appear on tv” circles?
yeah, really
I’m on the far right. >__>
This graph would have you believe most geniune fans riduculed MJ while he wqas alive >_>
I never mourned him. And I don’t think he was that great of a singer, either. His death was WAY too “hyped up.”
