Apathetic Lemming of the North: HDTV, LCD, xkcd, and the Lemming
HDTV, LCD, xkcd, and the Lemming
http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/hdtv.png
The Lemming saw that cartoon after posting a micro-review on Frank J. Fleming's "Tips for Not Appearing Crazy on the Internet."
One of Mr. Fleming's tips for crazy people was "Don't Be Surprised When People Have Opinions Different From Your Crazy One."
Not that xkcd, "A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language," is written by a crazy person. It's a webcomic - and probably intended to be funny. Not published as a warning that the squirrels are plotting to enslave humanity by making people think HDTV is impressive.
But the Lemming's been wrong before.
