What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

C'mon America... learn to have a sense of humor. Not EVERYTHING that is said in poor taste needs to be dealt with in such a knee-jerk fashion. Lighten up.

So eventually it's going to get to the point where Jeff Foxworthy will have to change his whole act because someone at the Suburban Redneck League is going to get a wild-hair up their ass!!!

Please can we stop!

These guys will have to switch to the internet and stream their show from a foreign country where free speech is protected by law.

Silly? Yes.

In the end a blessing because these guys aren't the least bit funny and are eating up valuable airtime? ABSOLUTELY!

IMO only, these guys just suck and their humor was over in 1991.
