This is the worst stab at comedy I've ever witnessed. I love how everyone just assumes from birth that they're hilarious.

"OK guys, great promo image, but I think it's missing something.

Got it! Throw in a 12 year old boy in tighty whities."

I agree with the above posters, I've had BoingBoing on my daily blog list for years but eventually it became too self-righteous. It seems like the authors now blog about things that solely interest them, like copyright law and self-promotion of their own books and projects (which are also generally dry). The posts that are genuinely interesting (maybe 1/4th of them) are just culled from Neatorama or Presurfer anyway, so I cut out the pretentious middleman and now visit these sites exclusively. Neato is the true directory of wonderful things.
