Mea culpa. If you look at my other picture posts, I ALWAYS convert to JPG before I upload, and I just forgot this time. Plus they're USUALLY better than this one. I like to CAPITALIZE one word in a lot of sentences. Now I have to go WANK.

Ditto to what FTW said below.
In all fairness, I'll round up my rating to a -1, because I have seen better (and worse), and to be honest I just didn't find this post all that interesting or amusing. The format (bitmap) was just the final nail in the coffin. Use JPEG or GIF, they're much quicker to load due to compressed size.

In fairness to me, the image was the proper size on my computer. I didn't intentionally make it that small. Perhaps there's a limit to the size it can be and ubersite smashed it down, and in that case I take the blame for being ignorant.
Of course what I wrote are my opinions. There are no facts as it's still a study in progress. It wasnt meant to be entertaining or world-shattering commentary. The point was to present the idea and maybe get a few people to think about it. Instead of taking it for what its worth (granted, thats not much) instead everyone has to comment on my uploading ability. If the post sucks, or if you find that there's no value in the content, then bomb away. At least give it a chance to suck, thats all I ask.

Buddy, it's not so much the image really. The real reason for the negative rating was that you were trying to present an opinion, and the manner in which you presented it seemed like it was supposed to be funny while making a point. The thing is, the point wasn't made well, and was unsubstantiated. And the only reason that was a problem is that it was also, not funny. If it was an opinion presented incredibly well, it would have deserved credit. If it was funny, it would have deserved credit. You see what I'm getting at?

Having to click to see something moderately funny > not having to click to see something incredibly stupid.
I don't think you deserve a +2 average rating, but I'm compensating for all the assholes. Don't let it get to you.

Are you fucking pansies too lazy to click on an image, and then magnify it? Either this is just a firefox thing, or you guys are morons.
Really, it's not that hard. I have Firefox too, but still, not that hard. Didn't read it anyway.

Making the image too hard to read.
Check.
Shortening the lifespan of my good eyesight by forcing me to get that close to the monitor.
Check.
Presenting a personal opinion in a manner that's not funny or even insightful.
Check.

I believe the word you were looking for in that second talk-balloon was "credible".

Looks like the image size got all messed up. Looks like you have two options:
1. Trust me that it's REALLY funny and give me a plus 2.
2. Click the picture, see it in full size, then go ahead and give me a minus 2 for fucking up, making a shitty post, then lying in option 1.
I expect the latter. Don't disappoint.
