  1. Kim says:

    Boo to Comic Sans.

  2. Ugg... says:

    Yeah, it’s like indisputable, only less grammar-Nazi.

  3. Matt11 says:

    You forgot “If you threaten eternity a non-existent bad place”

    Or “If you con convincingly state that you are the son of God, and, with a straight face, say that that has to be true because you are the son of God.”

    Hell, even “If you can say that someone was the son of god and that they said it first.”

    • KaylaKaze says:

      Or more concisely “Read it in a really old book written by ignorant and superstitious sheep herders.”

      • Lol says:

        I’m guessing you guys don’t like Buddha much eh?

        • forge says:

          Or Confucius, or Lao Tzu, or Shintoism, or Zoroaster…

        • crazykitteh says:

          What does Buddha have to do with this? He didn’t claim to be the son of any god. In fact, Buddhism encourages people to question everything and find the truth themselves.
          In short, you’re an ignorant.

          • NoseMoking says:

            but the reply was in response to the statement about ignorant and superstitious sheep herders. and Buddhism is based on Hinduism, which states all people are God.
            How, then, are these people ignorant?

    • Zearen says:

      How did I guess the atheists would be all over this one?

      • Daemon says:

        obviously, cause which is the biggest made up collection of facts/stories in the world the ‘bible’ or Darwin’s ‘On The Origin Of Species’ *glares at bible*

        • SSgt. Sossidge says:

          Another question you might ask is “Which is the greater source of good in the world?” All I’ve seen of many (not all, but many) open atheists is the tearing down of anyone else’s belief systems. Does it really so offend you for people to believe in some kind of god, even one who directs evolution into the paths it takes? Creation/evolution doesn’t have to be an either-or debate, and it certainly doesn’t have to be anything to get bent over.

          • This is not my name. says:

            Creation myth opposes evolution on a time scale. Creationists argue evolution would have had to start more than six thousand years ago, proving creationists wrong. So creationists do everything in their power to oppose it.

            And by the way, Evolution has done for more good for this world than your bible. Medicine, Computers, Engineering, They all have been greatly influenced by evolutionary algorithms. Evolution is one of the greatest contributers to the happiness of the world. Your bible says to stone people who don’t like it. It’s not even a fair comparison. The bible is nowhere near as important as Evolution.

            And finally, YES, it is something to get bent over. YES, it does offend me. They want to pass legislation on this SHIT they call “divine.” They want to FORCE it down our throats. That is something to be offended by. That’s something worth killing over. So please, just pick a side and stop trying to be a diplomat.

      • Bran? says:

        Oh, come on, how couldn’t we be? Atheists always have the best humor. We don’t have anyone telling us it’s wrong.

      • Captain Cutter says:

        Because your psychic? Come on now lets not play games, what’s the real reason?

  4. LOVE this . . . as a lawyer whose job it is to persuade people for some reason I keep relying on facts and evidence . . . should be calling Oprah more

    • Daemon says:

      Lawyer “This man is not a rapist”
      Judge “But we have thirty witnesses that say he is”
      Lawyer “Here is Oprah to back-up my story”
      Jury “We drop the charges against the prosecutor”

  5. Josiah says:

    “Evolution is real”
    WOAH LETS ALL BELIEVE IT BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID ITS REAL!!

    • MsMsBurning says:

      Like that god concept?

    • crazykitteh says:

      You’re such an idiot I can’t even begin to explain you.
      If you truly want to understand, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the scientific method. Nobody just “says” anything. It has to be proved. And the synthetic theory of evolution has enough proof to make the most probable theory on how life exists in this planet and develops the way it does.

      • SSgt. Sossidge says:

        Well, you can’t disprove the existence of God. Why can’t there be a God who directs the course of evolution? It’s not (as everyone apparently sees it) a debate with only two sides.

        • This is not my name. says:

          There is no god directing evolution, because the evidence doesn’t show it. God is an unnecessary theory in the development of life. Evolution covers EVERY detail. And depending on how you define god, YES you too can disprove god.

  6. Jayson says:

    Dilbert: “But you have no proof.”
    Dogbert: “Oh, I have something much better than proof. Anecdotal evidence!”
    Dogbert: “Who do you think would be dumb enough to believe anecdotal evidence?”
    Dogbert: “I’ve narrowed my target market to… PEOPLE!”

  7. dddevin says:

    I know people that still think AOL/Microsoft will send them money for forwarding a certain e-mail to all of their friends. *superheaddesk*

  8. chad says:

    LOL This makes me think of all those crazies that don’t believe in evolution…

  9. timmis says:

    You forgot “religious people” and “especially if you tell them god did it”

  10. Shaungrl says:

    You forgot “National Enquirer”. Bat Boy is real. Is so. I saw his pic on the cover.

    • Bran? says:

      It’s hard to not believe it, they’ve got a goddamn picture! Did you see that a woman had a baby with two heads?

  11. Jeff says:

    What’s worse is “Heard it on Rush” or “Heard it on Glen Beck”. “Heard it Oprah” has a non-trivial chance of being true. The FOX dudes — not so much.

  12. Keating says:

    NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!

  13. flamesbladeflcl says:

    OPRAH, what does the scouter say about his power level?

  14. Me says:

    remember that fake story about the military oath that says it’s false and people still bought it?
    http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/2009/01/military-to-pledge-oath-to-obama-not.html

  15. Me says:

    emails like Obama changing the military oath

  16. Mark says:

    You forgot to put a line for “everything that comes out of Barack Obama’s mouth.” Maybe GraphJam doesn’t allow 67,000-pixel bars that break out of the top of the chart, though.

    • Original Obe says:

      Yes, I thought about that, but if I put a 20 meter vertical line and 2 meter horizontal line for “Everything that comes / came out of Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford and Nixon’s mouth” it would not fit on the T-shirt. Maybe I’ll redo it and have it put on a billboard. Or write a song about it and have it on the Billboard Charts.

      I still need a suggestion on what font to use instead of Comic Sans.

      • SSgt. Sossidge says:

        None of the fonts currently available to you on Cheezburger. They’re all overused. Some good ones are:
        - Tahoma
        - Georgia (good in print, bad in small screen fonts)
        - Calibri
        - Britannic Bold
        - Rockwell
        - Cooper Black
        - CreativeBlock BB
        - Eras _____(Bold/Demi/Medium/Light) ITC
        - Geometric 231 BT
        - Gill Sans MT
        - Franklin Gothic
        - Impress BT
        - QuickType
        - Trebuchet MS

        That’s a pretty good starting point. If you don’t have those, you might want to try searching for them (and others) online.

  17. PornStoreChick says:

    Everyone seems to be forgetting the more obvious missing bar:

    “Read about it online”

    • Daemon says:

      Yeah, thats the most prominent one

    • Original Obe says:

      Thought about that one, but the graph would have been too crowded, plus I made it after 2 people who should know better sent me one of those “Microsoft is giving away money, to total strangers like you if you forward this email, by using an email tracking program”.

  18. crazykitteh says:

    WIN. I love it.

  19. frostfire says:

    I love it when the comments turn out to be more entertaining than the original post.

  20. DFL says:

    This graph is inaccurate. Where the hell is Wikipedia?

  21. NoseMoking says:

    what I find amusing is the idea of “undisputable” scientific evidence. Hurrah for the Ivory Tower!

  22. What's your dads email? says:

    FIRST!!!

  23. SupaW says:

    What a boring website, with a lot of boring comments by a load of boring people!
    Come on “GET A LIFE”, Try going out more often and meeting “REAL” people.
    BTW
    Scotland Ye BaS!

  24. kb says:

    usually a friend of a friend’s second cousin’s stepmom is who they believe the most.

  25. Poke says:

    If you put “words that come out of Obama’s mouth” on a graph, you are going to have a long enough bar to knock the moon out of orbit.

    And you get just as long by putting whomever thinks that bush ruined the econemy through his magic powers next to it.

    • Izzy Right? says:

      As stated above already, “Everything that comes / came out of Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford and Nixon’s mouth” would be a huge bar, it would put a dent in the top of the monitor.

  26. yaa says:

    God exists. Period.

  27. Izzy Right? says:

    No comment JR??

  28. Ryan says:

    By the definition of science, there is no such thing as indisputable scientific evidence. That’s the great thing about science. There is always room for debate.

  29. Dustyn says:

    Ah man you guys are funny. The comments are funnier than the actual graph!

  30. dori says:

    For those of you dissing the bible think about this: The bible was written over a period of 2000 years. It was written by shepherds, tax collectors, scholars, physicians, fisherman, kings and many others.

    A perfectly complete library that never once contradicts itself was put together by 40 different people who lived over 2000 years apart. (we can’t even get 40 people to agree on a PTA meeting!) That sounds a lot more reliable than 1 person’s theory based on a couple years on an island.

    • BiddleDobbly says:

      Never once contradicts itself? Perfectly complete?

      1. Put down crack pipe.
      2. Go through rehab.
      3. Learn to think critically.
      4. Learn what the word “science” actually means, learn scientific method.
      5. Learn what evolution theory and science actually have to say, not what your evangelical “god put the bones there to trick us” preacher man says they say.

      Try it out. You might learn something.

    • wrong says:

      Seriously, did you really think that comment through?

      You might as well believe Aesop’s Fables.

  31. Tori says:

    FAT ASS = FAT PROFITS.

  32. pl says:

    omg. being a women, i hate opera. she is nothing but a hypocrite. she needs to really just shut up sometimes. i have no respect for women who listen to her.

    • SSgt. Sossidge says:

      I’m not much for opera either, but I hear it’s not over ’til the fat lady sings. Oprah’s not much better.

  33. Luke says:

    Where are the “Mythbusters tested it – confirmed (full bar)” and “Mythbusters tested it – busted (very small bar)” bars?

  34. Iifrmtwl says:

    tattoo scarification,

  35. jo says:

    It is not the lifelong goal of every woman to have a husband. We were not born & raised only to spend our lifetimes doing whatever necessary to be considered attractive to then marry & pop out children. Some of us prefer to have careers, & other goals in life. Looks DON’T matter if you’re happy with yourself. I do also believe that Oprah is married or at least has a significant other. Don’t bother with responses containing “you only say that because you’re fat, ugly, stupid, barren… etc.” I’m not going to dignify it with a second response.
