    Crow’s foot???

  2. Jade says:

    I feel quite confident that the drugs portion should probably be the size of both the peace & love combined…

  3. bodo says:

    I don’t mean to pick on this one (it’s clever), but I think I would’ve put drugs and sex as the top two and then maybe combined peace and flowers in one and had love as the last one. Just sayin’.

  4. Err ah says:

    there should be a small slice for shooting Kennedys. It was a past time then.

  5. The CIA says:

    we had nothing to do with shooting any kennedy’s, Just sayin’.

  6. TGM says:

    How about Rock and or Roll?

  7. ??? says:

    Proportions are all wrong. Switch the two top ones with the two bottom ones.

  8. kno1 says:

    Nice, some people don’t get it. Looks like something MAD Magazine would do.

    • fish eye no miko says:

      I get it; it’s a peace sign.

      However, I agree with those saying the “drugs” portion should be one of the bigger “slices”…

  9. Kevin says:

    Yes, if you define “The Sixties” as a 1.5 year time period at the end of the decade.

    • jl5691426 says:

      Funny – I seem to recall people such as Bob Dylan promoting peace as early as 1962, and MLK won the Nobel Peace Prize (note the word “peace”) in 1964. If I really wanted to take the time for thorough refutation it wouldn’t be difficult to cite earlier instances of the other facets of the graph.

      • Pablo says:

        yeah, yeah, they hand out the nobel ‘peace’ prize every year, doesn’t make that year or decade peaceful.

        The point is that what culture generally portrays as ‘the sixties’ is the Woodstock/Haight-Ashbury ‘Hippie’ period of 67-69. This was really just a bunch of societal drop-outs who wanted to avoid responsibility or going to war, so they did drugs and didn’t bath instead. All their big moral ideals of peace and ‘we’re changing the world, man’ is just window dressing and justification for doing nothing.

        Of course pot-smoking idiots are always looking for ways to justify their lifestyle so they always look back to the originators of the excuse and dredge it up again, saying ‘man in the sixties they like smoked pot all the time and they, like, changed the world man…ya dig?’

  10. oobaka says:

    At least they were clever enough to make the drugs brown.
    Stay away from the brown acid

  11. Gladiator763 says:

    You screwed up the sizes…make the big ones little and the little ones big and you’ve got it.

  12. homelessgirl says:

    i think drugs should be bigger and peace less

  13. mydogfat says:

    um, excuse me? it should be 90% drugs, 5% flowers, 4.5% love, and .5% peace. that’s the sixties.

  14. aaron m says:

    does any1 know what the “peace” sign originally meant? It meant some sort of anti-christ thing, you see it looks like the cross has been cut in the horizontal line

  15. josearcadiobuendia says:

    More drugs! :)

  16. cheezr says:

    very clever indeed; wish I’d thought of it. Good job.

  17. whatever says:

    jeez someone forgot the MUSIC!

  18. Huh says:

    Wasn’t there a whole War going on as well In the 60’s.

    I’m a little fuzzy on the details.

    But I’m pretty sure there was also this very violent war, in a jungle somewhere. Maybe somewhere in South East Easia or somehting.

    WHy isn’t War represented here?

  19. roid says:

    Peace? this was a decade of”peace”? Are you crazy? Wars and revolutions all over the world and the only thing that made it a decade of peace was a legion of young pot-smoking smelly idiots who indulged themselves at concerts in the name of the greater good. Peace? yeah right.

    • Pablo says:

      Exactly, just a bunch of overpriveledged, draft-dodging bufoons spending mom and dads money on the corporation of anti-establishmentism. Woodstock was a ‘for profit’ venture that got out of hand when all the kind, peaceful, loving hippies took advanatge of the woeful security and broke down the gates. Just a bunch of filthy freeloaders in a field smoking pot. How admirable.

    • kc says:

      So, as I am sure that you know Everything about the greater good, explain to me the difference between the “Vietnam” greater good and the “Woodstock” greater good. I mean, if you ask Me, with your logic, they both accomplished nothing. Except, maybe, that in the decade of violence, a three day concert which hosted over 40,000 patrons with no real violent incident, did in fact accomplish something–the idea that a safe haven from everything wrong could rejuvenate the spirit so one could leave with enough energy to keep on fighting for the “greater good.”

      The above was really maybe just a tangent, but to me, some soldier who was willing to be shipped overseas and willing to kill strangers without knowing exactly Why are just as terrible as “a legion of young pot-smoking smelly idiots.” And don’t try to go off and tell me I don’t respect veterans and whatnot. Nothing could be further from the truth. All I’m saying is there’s really no need to go around bashing one sub culture when there are/were many who were acting irresponsibly for the “greater good.”

  20. Warren says:

    t-shirt!

  21. Scythelord says:

    Hippies are bad. Mmm’kay?

  22. whitedm says:

    Peace and love? Where was that in Newark, Detroit, Watts and Chicago?

  23. lar says:

    *squints* I’m not seeing the ‘race riots’ and ‘Vietnam War’ sections. Hmmm.

  24. Owen Mono says:

    Fun fact: that was actually the symbol for the CND – the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament – look it up!

  25. areukiddinme says:

    missed one, “bs” also drugs should be the majority…

  26. Mordeir says:

    Wasn’t there a war or something going on during the 60’s, in Viet something or other? And I think I remember something about a civil rights movement too. And didn’t we land on… what do you call that thing? I want to say moon, but it just doesn’t sound right.

  27. linnaeis says:

    Hey, where are the rock bands? the Who and The Beatles are sixties!!1!!!!1

  28. keith says:

    drugs should be at least 1/3 of the circle.

  29. pedro says:

    Flip peace with drugs, and flowers with love, and your on the right track. And yes, i do get the fact the graph is supposed to be a peace symbol

  30. ULTIMATE LORD OF ALL HIPPIES says:

    hey man, its just a graph man, no need to get all “corporative’ about the drugs man, we do what we like and if the goverment doesnt approve it then we dont care! peace!

    WARNING:the following message was not submitted on this site by the original ruler of all hippies. he died in 1968 from too much drug abuse. the following message was submitted by a guy who wanted to joke about this graph.

    Cincerely,
    The Goverment of bionic pizza research
