FUNNY PICTURE THREAD

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I must be kinda slow because I don't see anything strange or funny in the unemployment rate one. Is there a blooper there somewhere?
Funny how 8.6% in their graph is equal to 9.0% and higher than their 8.8%.
Funny in the "Laugh and pull out the vodka and keep drinking until the pain stops" kind of way.

"Have you seen the unemployment rate? It was 8.8, but Obama made it grow into 8.6! THAT'S WAY HIGHER!"
(Still, the rest of the graph seems alright, so they probably got the number wrong and it was supposed to be 9.0)
Uh, no.

Bad graphs like that is common in propaganda. The numbers will check out and based on reputable sources but the analysis will always be off. The backpedal if called out on is "Oops our bad!" (see Obama as Romney and 22% > 23%) without repercussion but people who just glance over it without checking the numbers in their head will be bought over or influenced by it towards the propaganda's bias.

At the time, November wasn't over yet, so I assumed that because the numbers weren't finalized they didn't want to let them skew the graph, but they still posted the number-to-date for the curious. This is likely a feature of whatever graphing software they use. It is not necessarily an incorrect way of presenting the data, though it's slightly disconcerting for a split second until you realize why it's drawn that way.
Or maybe it really was just a typo. I dunno.
ANYWAY, PICS:
