    I’d like to see how wikipedia fits into that graph

    • Redneck_Rebel says:

      Actually it would be in a seperate diagram in between “Public Opionion” and “Actual Facts”

      • Redneck_Rebel says:

        Expressing sarcasm FAIL.

        I just saw text; there was no tone of voice to indicate sarcasm, and I don’t know you well enough to know whether or not you’re among the millions of sheeple…uh…I mean people.. who are irreversibly convinced that Wikipedia is infallible.

        • X says:

          >>>”the millions of sheeple…uh…I mean people.. who are irreversibly convinced that Wikipedia is infallible.”

          Is that an actual fact or something you think you know? Got o scientific survey you’d like to share, perhaps?

    • Homer says:

      It is part of the graph. The problem is, it is so far from “Actual Facts” that it does not fit on the page. Now it you had multiple monitors going, you might (might!) see it way over to the left.

  2. Nick R. Bocker says:

    Aren’t these graphs supposed to be funny?

  3. Redneck_Rebel says:

    Venn diagram FAIL. There are supposed to be only TWO circles, and the third one isn’t even connected.

  4. Personage says:

    Wow! It’s a good thing I’m not a people.

  5. Birdman says:

    What’s the difference between “What people know” and “What people think they know” if neither are Actual Facts?

  6. X says:

    I hereby call for a ban on “It’s not really a proper Venn diagram” posts.

    No one cares. It’s jokes, not logic class.

    • Bueller says:

      But the structure of the diagram is part of the joke. Thus, a nonsensically constructed diagram = a poorly told joke = not funny.

      And as long as we’re calling for bans…I call for a ban on the use of the term “actual” in any future graphs.

      • Coop says:

        Wrong. At least in the context of your reply. There’s a difference between “proper Venn diagram” and “nonsensically constructed diagram”. You can violate the convention of Venn diagrams and still manage to be funny. For instance, as has already been mentioned, relative distance between unconnected sets is irrelevant in these sorts of diagrams; yet, in the context of graphjam, you can still get the inference the author was attempting to make. That is, unless you’re a failure at logic as I would paint a “know” it all cunt-wagon like yourself.

        That being said, this one is stupid.

        • papajon says:

          I disagree. Humor is in the eye of the beholder. I’m more a stickler for the rules so if you are going to bend the actual rules of a graph you better be darn clever about it! In my world making large or small Venn diagram intersections to prove a point pales in humor comparison to other graphs that have bent actual rules. Like you stated, this one is stupid so the rule-bending fails. It’s funny the first time, maybe two but after a while the humor simply wears off.

          I think the funniest graphs stick to standard graphing rules but speak to the humor of exaggeration when they play on graph size and shape.

          Just my two cents mind you. If you want to toss me on board the cunt-wagon, by all means do so. I’ve been called waaaaaay worse by the ex-wife.

          • Coop says:

            I think we’re pretty much in agreement here, actually, so I’ll go light on you and throw you on the rapscallion-wagon. I wanted to point out that going outside the rules of standard VennyD’s can be used as a humor element (in rare cases, effectively). I tend to be much more amused by the concepts in the graphs rather than by the jokes being implied by graph construction. Bueller is still a taint-smuggling corprophiliac though.

  7. Gunshaver says:

    Is it just me, or does this graph make no sense at all?

    • M4ce says:

      This is the most messed up graph I have ever seen around here.

      What the heck is it trying to say?

      Public opinion are the pieces of knowledge that people think they know, and that people know.

      W. T. F.

  8. DRH says:

    FAIL!

    Logically, “what people know” has to be enclosed in “Actual facts”.

  9. Duckie says:

    This graph proves how Obama got elected. Hmmm..

  10. Kelly says:

    you mapped my brain xD

  11. ElfKing says:

    If there were a “Fiction” circle, it would cross over with “What People Know” and in the intersection, it would say “Uncyclopedia.”
    GraphJam desperately needs an Uncyclopedia reference.

    • ElfKing says:

      Oh, “Fiction” would, naturally, cross over with “What People Think They Know” and not “What People Know.” My bad.

  12. Cowlifornia says:

    so true!

  13. Starlinguk says:

    I’m missing “The Daily Mail” in this one.

  14. Veil says:

    As long as we’re talking about how this graph makes no sense, in order for this graph to be correct, by it’s own definition, it has to be incorrect.

  15. Evilbunny says:

    All I know is that I know nothing.

  16. Edward says:

    Cynical. I like it.

  17. Linaeve says:

    This chart is full of irony.

  18. PHDGUY says:

    nobody sees the huge fail in making this graph?

  19. Richard says:

    So annoyingly true >.<
