The Tick to be Cancelled

I'll keep watching until the last episode airs on Jan 24. I enjoyed it even if it was put in a terrifying time slot guaranteeing that nobody saw it. I think if it had a full season to find a footing it would have been a real winner. Ah well, good luck to Ben and his future projects.

    I'm a statistician for a large corporation. I cannot reveal which one or my identity so I must post this anonymously. I deal a lot with statistics in the computer world, and we are contracted often by ad agencies for information in regards to the preferences of computer users. One assignment was dealing with the operating systems and their user's lifestyle and preferences. The results we came up with were interesting and shocking. Here are some memorable tidbits.

    Windows users

    87% of Windows users are employed (3% on welfare)

    40% hold a university level degree

    43% in a heterosexual relationship

    5% are in a homosexual relationship

    3% have a serious mental disorder

    Linux users

    32% of linux users are employed (15% are on welfare)

    35% hold a university degree

    4% are in a heterosexual relationship

    37% are in a homosexual relationship

    56% have a serious mental disorder

    Thus we have concluded that effective ads related to linux should try and target the mentally disturbed, homosexuals, and the unemployed.
