Along the same lines, here’s a chart of boredom vs the reading of webcomics: http://www.notquitewrong.com/rosscottinc/2009/08/19/the-system-264/

It’s true. I should be working right now, and instead I’m about to make fun of people who use iPhones.

Done.

To me it just looks like an ad for I-Phone desperately trying to go viral.

List of requirements (or at least, list of don’ts) for great memes:

1. Does not require a legend at the bottom to explain itself
2. Includes humor
3. Prints well on a standard, crappy work B&W laser printer
4. Consumes no more than 1/4 of a standard sheet of paper when printed
5. Does not use color gradients (see #3)

Otherwise, pretty spot on.
