playa hatin' (or, let's get a few things straight)

[rone]

Penny Arcade is not funny.
Dave Barry stopped being funny around the time Reagan left office.
Achewood is not funny.
The Onion was funny until they started repeating themselves sometime around `97.  They'll occasionally have a good zinger, but most of their stuff is telegraphed to hell and back.
Jerk City is not funny.
Sinfest is funny until you realize it's a adolescent ripoff of Bloom County with the main character being two-thirds Milo, one third (Watterson's) Calvin.
Something Positive is not funny.
David Letterman is funny only when compared to Jay Leno.
McSweeney's is not funny.

More twisted than funny, but i greatly approve
Was funny for a while, but his material has not aged well. Or maybe it's me.
Only listened to "Rant in E Minor". Found him vastly overrated, with a crappy sense of timing. I think people romanticize him because he was dying so he was just saying whatever was in his puny head without remorse or restraint.
Haven't heard it
Funny

Also, PLIF == funny
