Cockeyed.com is one man's obsessive quest to find out everything about everything.
Sometimes it is informative, such as his recent re-posting of his trip to New Orleans during a hurricane alert a few years ago. Most of the time it is just silly. He replaces menus in restaurants with carefully designed parodies, and devotes pages and pages of his site to finding out how much is inside stuff (eg, how much toothpaste inside a tube, how much tree is in a Christmas tree).
However, and this (sadly) is my reason for my post, the site author's recent turn of genius is a pie chart based on a survey he conducted. He asked people's favourite TV channel - and he came up with this, the best pie chart in the world. No, really. It's complicated, messy and fantastic, and how all pie charts should look.
His pie chart is far more interesting than this one, far less yellowy than this one, and less scary than this one.
This is INTERESTING, dammit!

It's certainly the busiest pie chart in the world.
I was disappointed. I thought your blog was going to be about pies. For a moment I thought it might be a pie chart about pies. But no, it was about tv instead. And US tv at that.
The scary thing about the scary pie chart? Well...
"Pie Chart
Here's a brief overview created by Randy Johnson of what percentage of different groups compose the whole of the Gothic population. The percentages are intended to give you a general idea, there are not any researched numbers behind it. It is not meant to be statistically accurate."
If it isn't statistically accurate and there aren't any researched numbers behind it... It doesn't really show anything apart from what Randy Johnson thinks might be the case. In which case, why don't we all just make up statistics? Eh?

Alriiiight, no need to repeat yourself...
That's how annoyed I was.
