RE: Mandatory Fun Day
Oh, wow, I thought these strips were some crazed reruns of strips somebody close to the site had made in college in 1997, not actual current comics. Microsoft and Death Star jokes? Really? I didn't think you could get lamer geek humour than UserFriendly or the Great Quux, but here we are.
Alex: You seem to think that because you find things funny, this is enough of a sense of humour to make you a suitable editor. It appears not. The push-back on this strip is immense -- do you think it's just because other people have a "different sense of humour"? I mean, do you find xkcd funny? Or Penny Arcade? They get near-universal acclaim. This doesn't. Could it perhaps be your hand in creating it that is blinding you to the deep failings and frustrations felt by almost everybody else that reads them?
At least give us it on a separate RSS feed. Filtering is all very well, but not when you're using syncable online feed aggregators. Or do we have your permission to publish an edited feed?
(I tried to keep this civil, honestly, but OH GOD the strip is SO BAD. WOEFUL. MS jokes? In 2008? REALLY?)
