Pie chart misuse reaches new level of awfulness

I've seen some terrible graphs in my time, but this is just ridiculous.

Sure, but the OMG-WTF Spectrum can hardly help being a *bit* comedic, right? I mean, come on. Inherently funny.

(I was disappointed when I looked at them for that reason at first, until I realised that actually made it more amusing.)

yes i think some of them are "ho ho, us social media types can rly laff at ourselves, eh", rather than funny per se, although the OMGWTF one is teh funneh, yes.

Oh *that* tee-hee-self-aware stuff is rather painful. And eye-gouging. It's the accidental bits - I just could NOT help thinking of Fran & The Flipchart ("We're here. We want to be here") when I looked at the Dynamic Signal one. Beyond my control. Not my fault.
