K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple, Stupid. It is a rule to live by. There is beauty in simplicity.
I just noticed this graph drawn by kejento entitled “1 + 1 = 2.” My first reaction was on its simplicity, hence K.I.S.S., but I soon realized the serendipitous double meaning “kiss” can have on the graph.
I have decided to feature one of the Crappy Graphs drawn by a fan of this site over in the super awesome user graphs section.
This graph recently caught fire on the internet and attracted tens of thousands of visitors in the last few days.

I’ve been single for a couple of years now, and that has led me to make an observation about money.
It seems that whenever I was in a relationship, I would spend less time in front of a computer. That sounds great, but that’s my source of income. The less time I spend on the computer, the less money I will make.
Additionally, as if making less money is bad enough, I noticed that I would spend more money while in a relationship. When I’m single, I spend less time spending money (on a girlfriend) and more time making money (on the computer).
This may be an effect that other people can relate to, so I figured I would illustrate it on a Crappy Graph:
I was working on a two-item, non-intersecting Venn diagram and noticed that the red and blue circles closely resembled a scene from The Matrix. You have the red or the blue. You cannot have both, so they do not intersect. It just fits.
In the movie, Mission: Impossible II, Tom Cruise was faced with the task of stopping the spread of the deadly Chimera virus. Most viral ads from Fortune 500 companies face the same fate as Chimera, but without super-spy opposition. Instead of being done in by secret agents, they tend to be designed to fail all on their own. It is all part of the difficult transition marketing directors face when trying to leave traditional techniques behind and adopt the new media model.
Until the training wheels are removed, we can not do much more than sit back and count the flops.
