Great, now all the pervs will be applying to be TSA agents…

Bjöm’s concerns can be addressed by just changing the “Prostitutes,” “Doctors” and “TSA” labels to: “Facts about prostitutes,” “facts about doctors” and “facts about TSA agents.”

Bjorn is correct. The graphmaker had the right idea but did it wrong.

The circles should be labeled

Circle 1 – Make More Money in an Hour…
Circle 2 – Require Little Training
Circle 3 – Wear Blue Latex Gloves.

The population “Prostitute” goes inside the intersection of circles 1 and 2 (but not 3).
The population “Doctor” goes inside the intersection of circles 1 and 3 (but not 2).
The population “TSA agent” goes inside the intersection of circles 2 and 3 (but not 1)

The phrase “People Who Get Paid to Touch Your Junk” should be the title, not in the three-part intersection.

Which suggests the question: what -should- go in the place that’s defined by all three circles? I’m thinking: New York Freakshow Performer.

@Björn… You’re completely wrong… go study Venn Diagrams and Comedy. And maybe get a massage or do some yoga or something, you seem very tense.

Björn, I understand what you mean, but you’re being very narrow in your application of a venn diagram. It’s not just used for populations.

In this case, the three circles do not represent the set of all people with that label, the circles represent the definition of the label. Of all the things that make a TSA agent and a prostitute, their definitions overlap in that they have very little training. Training in, say, bomb identification, is not shared by either prostitutes or doctors, so it would overlap with nothing.

@Bjorn, this is not wrong, you just need to know how to read a Venn diagram.

While the description is written in only a part of the colored areas, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit ALL the colored area. In fact, the description is written in a common area exactly for easily understanding that the description fits both the jobs.

Lets hope your misunderstanding isnt due to guilty conscience..

You guys, I think Joe is feeling left out.

Björn: There are prostitutes who are paid to do things that don’t involve touching your junk. Like sucking toes, or smacking you around with a whip or cane.

One could also argue that here are also prostitutes who aren’t necessarily paid, but who touch your junk in exchange for things like drugs, or promotions at work.

Granted, the Venn diagram may not necessarily be to scale.

@ Björn

I don’t think you understand how Venn diagrams work. This one means that:

– Prostitutes don’t wear blue latex gloves (doctors and TSA agents do)
– Prostitutes and TSA agents can do their job with very little training (doctors can’t)
– TSA agents don’t make more money per hour than you do for the whole day (doctors and prostitutes do)

HTH

Bjorn, you are reading this chart wrong. Where the circles overlap denotes a common trait. This is a common category circle chart design. You can plainly see they they all overlap the trait “Get paid to touch your junk” and thus all do.

@Björn: It may be helpful to think of the circles in the diagram as depicting _properties_ (rather than the populations) of doctors, prostitutes, and TSA agents.

Look, there’s no doubt that Bjorn is right. All of you who think he should learn what “Venn Diagram” means need to do some learning of your own. His assessment and GreenleafNC’s clarification are completely accurate critiques of this graph from a formal perspective.

Also clear: Bjorn has no sense of humor … ’cause that diagram is funny as Hell.

I don’t know what is funnier, the venn diagram or the analysis in the comments!

(In particular, an orthodox venn diagram for this data would have nothing in the intersection of the three circles, which would give the joke a bit less punch)

I love how all the people who don’t know how to read Venn Diagrams (and think this one makes any sense at all) are being condescending toward Bjorn, who actually knows what he’s talking about.

Read GreenleafNC’s explanation. He’s right (as is Sam). Whomever made this diagram had a funny idea and completely jacked it up by not understanding the medium he was working in.

Hilarious diagram. Sucks that everyone has a stick up their assail about whether it’s accurate. chill the f*** out everyone.

I’d personally like to thank Chancery, bjorn, Milind and Greenleaf. Especially the first one who gave us the correct Venn diagram for the joke.

It shouldn’t only be funny, it should also be correct! Now I propose that the author of the joke redoes it in accordance to Chancery’s charts (which are highly non-artistic).

“your a moron”
Holy irony, Batman.

[Björn is right, doctors go in the doctor’s circle; but who cares, this is funny shit]

AIIIEIEEEEEEYYAHHHHH! AIIIEEEEYAHHHHH! FUUUUKKKKKKKK BIJORN WHO GIVES A FUUUUCCCKKKK!!! SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OF PEOPLE!

Dammit, where’s the t-shirt? I want one for my next flight.

LOVE THIS DIAGRAM! SOOOOOOOO GOOD.

BTW, we just launched a new photoblog for TSA patdowns:
thedailypatdown.com

Who’s trolling who?

I see nothing technically wrong with this diagram. Prostitutes and TSA Agents require little training, while Doctors do not [hopefully requiring LOTS of training]. Doctors and TSA Agents wear blue latex gloves, while Prostitutes do not [couldn’t agree more ;-)]. Doctors and Prostitutes make lots of money, while TSA Agents do not. And,,all of these professions get paid to touch my/your junk.

Somewhat tasteless but, nevertheless, techincally accurate.

Bjorn is right – all who say he’s wrong are wrong. Nice illustration though – makes sense to all those that aren’t mathematically inclined.

Technically everyone is making an assumption that this is a Venn diagram. The OP never stated that it is. Though it looks like it should be, it isn’t a Venn Diagram. BUT it is a perfectly acceptable diagram (by the definition of such) that represents the OP’s idea. It just irritates me that people have the social skills of a fruit bat online. Now it’s making behave as such. Boo.

so funny! although im not sure how much tsa agents earn

an open minded person would simply say lol, you nut!

Women and children who are forced to be prostitutes by mafia earn nothing, just mafia earns more.

I don’t understand you sense of humour.

Wow. Bjorn, you were torn up. Definately more fun reading people bust on your analysis than in the Venn diagrams to being with. Thanks for everyone sharing.

Russian Sphinx: get over it. This example illustrated one problem. I bet with your deep understanding of human trafficking and your long time Russian mafia connections that you could do your own diagram and discuss another problem…

Björn is right. Have you idiots really lapsed back to pre-fourth-grade when we all learned Venn diagrams? It’s a funny diagram, and I lol’d, but when y’all start defending – with smartass remarks – its accuracy, well, as my mom would say, “you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground.”

And you wonder why American education is dying…

All I want to know is how can I get Bjorn to touch my junk???

I think Bjorn is the only person here who actually DOES know how a Venn diagram works.

U all crappy bastards hahahaah..who the fuck cares about what Bjorn thinks this is funny shit not a how-to-make-charts lesson…..u losers…..so wait a second, go up an see he chart, and start laughing..u idiots

y’all are reading just a bit too much into it. lol! it’s cute!
