The influence of webcomics?!
I’m having a mini-fit over the hilarity of this right now, so bear with me. I wonder if anybody else has caught this yet — I can’t be the first.
Exhibit A: Listen to Yourself, an xkcd strip from a few weeks back.
Exhibit B: Any YouTube video, but let’s use this one because I love it.
Now check out that little box to the right of the comment form at the bottom of the page on YouTube — and convince me they didn’t take that from Randall Munroe!
ETA: So, like, 10 seconds after getting into my excited tizzy, I Googled the damn thing and found out that it’s been there forever. Forever being two months, anyway. This anticlimax is a stab in the heart…*sniff*
I believe this incident was referenced under xkcd’s Wikipedia..?
I hate discovering something, then finding out that I didn’t actually discover it :(
