As "statements from the corporate counsel's office" go, this post on the YouTube blog is pretty hot reading.

      Xkcd is a pretty good and generally clever comic, and I suspect you hate it for non-rational reasons... but that's neither here nor there.

      I agree that the GP's insult of Trig Palin gives him away as an idiot. It's a type of humor that only the insecure utilize.
