"Produced" being the key word there. That doesn't mean they own the copyright to the lyrics and/or music. IIRC, the free-ness of the Youtube video was preventing capitalization off of the song by the copyright owners (i.e. Rebecca Black and her parents).

I think my favorite part about this one is how (based on the "<x> sucked!" line), Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days of the week.

Who'd 'a thunk it?

I like Wednesdays and Thursdays as those evenings I have the most time free to play Minecraft.
The River is Small. And oh so hattable!

I didn't expect Wednesday to be such a popular ladies night!

And this would make a really interesting app - you start the sentence, it searches and graphs the results.


Am i the only one seeing lots of little flying saucers!?


This comic = Proof that flying saucers can hide in plain site, and no one would be the wiser...

You can also simply print it, pin it to a cardboard in the center and (if you want you can use the mouse) turn it around.

But I admit, the work Tud did, was waaaay cooler. :)

So, does anyone know if Randall does these by hand, or if he uses some script? It looks very hand-written, but I figure one could write a script to do this quicker than it would be to gather the data and write it oneself. Like using cairo, for example.

I'd like a poster. Regardless of "vague shapes".
