People who have trouble distinguishing reality from stick-figure cartoons

Comment: Is it true that the couple who runs snopes.com, a website
dedicated to debunking myths circulated through e-mails, are the source of
many, if not all of the e-mails in question?

[snopes]

Comment: To whom it may concern,

Please confirm or deny that "SNOPES.COM" is a primary distribution source
of spam email messages as alleged in the web comic seen here:

Comment: I heard your site is run by a couple who runs a network of spam
servers that start many of the forwarded stories in the first place, thus
ensuring you'll always have business.

Comment: Have you seen this?

Is it true? Oh God, why am I asking you?

[snopes]

Comment: do you guys really run a bunch of spam servers to keep yourselves
in business?

I've always wondered what Barbara looks like.

Yes, because as we all know, snopes makes big bucks by getting these people to visit his site!

How long did it take for these comments to come in after the comic was published??

You guys must be getting a ton of mail because of the VT shooting and the cartoon

Well, the secret is out.

Don't worry, the contingency plan is in place and the plastic surgeons are standing by. The Accountants will transfer all the money through the Cayman Islands to the "clean" bank accounts.

This time tomorrow, the "Mikklesons" and Snopes.com will never have existed.

The world will be introduced to Senops.com a wondrous new site debunking Urban legends about Urban Legend Debunkers. It will be run a by a lovely couple named David and Barbara Mikklesen.

No offense, but Snopes should have done his hair before the Stick figure was crafted. Not a good angle for you.

Hehehehe

Yes; I don't actually think Barbara looks as pictured.

I think a bunch of people are pulling your stick-leg....

Comment: Is this cartoon about Snopes true?
http://xkcd.com/c250.html

[snopes]

Good lord, does it really take that much brainpower to figure out that if it were true, it wouldn't be funny (and therefore wouldn't be much of a gag for a comic strip)?
