In other news the murder rate in 2006 was 75%

What mental reject seriously pursued this?

Some Chrome user.

It's because IE is the only browser without a MurderBlockPlus add-on.

I want to use this in one of those threads where people post a meaningless chart (or at least with no context to explain the chart and what data it is displaying) to try and prove a point

Flint Ironstag		2013-01-22 04:25:36 PM

Didn't Casey Anthony get off because cops only checked her IE browser history and didn't think to check Firefox, which she'd used to Google how to kill people?

Maybe there is a connection....

Don't read the comments, whatever you do.

Bathia_Mapes		2013-01-22 04:57:17 PM

The chart is about as serious as the study from 2011 that said that IE users had low intelligence, and that was shown to be a hoax.

Plus there's a disclaimer of sorts which says, "p.s. If you take this seriously, you are an idiot and you should go stick your head up some dark hole."

Seems legit.

Yeah. What was up with those percentages?

IE market share. The murder rate is the dots and relates to the values on the other side.

All you really need is a browser that gets you to yahoo, youtube, and facebook. I don't see why civilians need all these high powered search tools, hacker websites, and penis-replacement "plug ins."

There is no way that many people were using IE. Case closed.

wildcardjack		2013-01-22 05:56:03 PM

It's because the number of IE users I want to kill are a dwindling pool.

Internet Explorer has seen a recent rise in market share(largely due to Windows 8) and then the school shootings happened. Cooincidence? I think not.

dennysgod		2013-01-22 09:30:31 PM

The first graph represents 23% of the population, the 2nd represents 28% of the population and last graph represents 43% of the population

/telling figures indeed.

What about Linux use versus the suicide rate?

Minerva8918		2013-01-23 01:33:37 AM

Well, I must say that any time I've had to use farking IE, it makes me feel homicidal...

That x-axis scale is the result of some strange math. Or meth.

You are sixteen, I take it, or do you just have a horrible memory?

anyway, the commenters on that article are the stupidest people I have ever seen on the internet, and that is saying something. "I know its a joke, but here are a few paragraphs about why it isnt right".....
