I’m glad that pedo is dead. I stand by every horrible thing I ever said about him. Never liked his music much, either.

I never mourned him. And I don’t think he was that great of a singer, either. His death was WAY too “hyped up.”

Ok. I’m just not getting this at all. Could someone explain what this ‘sentence’ means?

Good suggestion. The chart is wrong, but I get the funny concept. A pie diagram of “Michael Jackson Mourners” consisting of 90% Ridiculers and 10% Genuine Fans should be just right.

Oh! I see. So what what I think Plato is saying that the the graph represents a less than sincere change in social behaviors based on perception of one’s life and what is “expected” to behave after someone dies. We are taught to respect in death regardless of the person’s actions in life.

Either that or he’s saying was indeed a freak-boy, I’m good either way.

i wish chal had replied earlier so i could have agreed with him instead. chalk up a win for perfect explanation.

riderleangle doesn’t understand that the diagram is flawed, but his explanation is spot-on… at least in reference to this particular diagram. what he doesn’t understand is that what we all believe the author meant to say is not accurately reflected in the graph.

gah, it’s pointless to argue, because my words are almost guaranteed to be construed all wrong. all i’m saying is he has a correct understanding of the diagram as it’s given.

it’d less of not mourning him, than it is resenting all the fake-poseurs.

Chal’s right. This one doesn’t make any sense.
If you want to tell a joke, great. But if you want to use a graph to tell a joke, you ought to make sure that the graph actually says what you think it says. Too many submitters here have something funny to say so they make a graph that uses some of the same words the joke used and expect everyone else to just figure out what they meant.

By: DaDave

DaDave — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:55:28 +0000

but, then I won’t fit in the chart because I neither mourned him nor riddiculed him. I have done my best to ignore and avoid him since just after Thriller.

By: Chal

Chal — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:56:23 +0000

Sorry RiderLeangle, but I’m pretty sure you’re the one who doesn’t understand how Venn diagrams work here.

The group in the middle is the intersection of the two outer groups. Everyone in the centre belongs to both outer groups, which means that they are both genuine fans and people who ridiculed him endlessly.

The outer groups have a sliver that is exclusive to each of them, meaning that there are some people who are genuine fans that did not ridicule him endlessly (and for some reason are not mourning him now), and some people who ridiculed him endlessly that were not genuine fans (and are not mourning him now, this is the only part of the diagram that makes sense).

Further, because on GraphJam, the relative sizes of the group represents the sizes of the population contained within, the fact that the outer slivers are so much smaller than the inner group means that of the people who were genuine fans, most of them also ridiculed him endlessly. Also, of the people who mocked him endlessly, most were genuine fans.

That is what this graph means, and that is why it makes no sense.

I don’t get it. Just about everyone I know who ridiculed him (I was one of them) are ridiculing his death even more. I challenge you to find one person who fits into the overlap area. This is a MJ phanboi graph who wants to think that MJ’s death suddenly converted even the naysayers to mourners. Epic FAIL!

*shrugs* I’m an MJ fan, and I’d be a liar to say I never laughed at a joke made at his expense. That’s not to say I agree with the sentiments of the jokes; I, for example, don’t believe he was a child molester or a freak in the least, but the jokes themselves were funny. They also perfectly demonstrated just how cruel and ignorant human beings can be when presented with something they don’t understand.

yup, feel quite bad for erich and RiderLeangle. this venn diagram makes no sense at all.

Last I checked, Beethoven hasn’t completely dominated the “news” for the last few weeks. Even at the time that he died, I seriously doubt that everybody made as big a deal about it as they are about MJ’s death. He may have been a very good and popular musician, but he was still just a musician. I really don’t see any reason why his death should be getting as much attention as it has, to the point where important events in the rest of the world have been practically ignored.

Are you serious? Venn Diagrams work as such:

You have several groups. (In this case, two.) Each group is represented by a circle. Where the circles overlap, you have things (in this case, people) that are in both groups. Two separate (nonoverlapping) circles represent two groups without items in both.

It truly is a shame that you never paid attention in high school.

i rarely say stuff like this, but come one
the concept was good
but the layout… no.
it just doesnt make sense x_x

no, he’s entirely correct.

I get what this guy was trying to do, but he failed to do it. A pie chart of “People mourning Micheal Jackson” with 98% “People who made fun of him before his death” and a 2% “True fans” was how it should have been done.

So the genuine fans who didn’t even make fun of him don’t mourn him?

OMG stop making references to michael jackson. I’m so sick of hearing about that guy. There are much more important things happening in the world right now. Can we please jsut forget he existed.
