Homer Simpson Drawn With Web 2.0-Style ASCII Art

    "Remember ASCII art?" If you're asking, you must be new here.

    That's the most beautiful thing these eyes have ever seen....well except for Marge, when she wears that blue thing with the things.

    If you think the blocky ASCII Dubya is bad, highlight his text. Holy crap.

    If we're really lucky, after that we'll get Web 3.1, Web 3.14, Web 3.141, ...
    But don't hold your breath waiting...

    Are you sure that's the progression? I thought Web 3.1 would be followed by Web 3.11, and then by Web for Workgroups.

    But of course! That's what Web 2.0 is all about: turning simple applications with a bit of necessary networking into unmanageably complex monstrosities requiring a full data-center and a plugged-up, memory-gobbling web browser to support one measly user and brought to life by the power of Great Cthulhu.
