The image's idea is fine, in my opinion... but dang, the black bars are insane. Would it be okay to replace with a version with way less of them? Here's how it would look like:

I prefer the current. I don't find the black spaces annoying.

I prefer the current, primarily because it's less work for such a minor thing. But another reason is that the ratio does not look weird and it looks fine.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

That's better. Now, the only complaint I have about it is that the text is a little small.

Bump. Though image 5 is the one with the most votes.

Image 5 is overall the best. If the text were a little bigger, it would overall be perfect for the page.

Couldn't we rearrange it vertically, so that the equation goes from top to bottom instead of left to right? The 350 width limit causes any image wider than it is tall to go to waste, but if we make it a tall image the boxes can be much bigger.

Shouldn't we have an image that actually conforms to the acronym?

The boxes don't need to be bigger than that, so a vertical arrangement is unnecessary.

I don't think being one letter off hurts how well it illustrates, in particular due to how easy it is to figure out why.

For 12 we might make the caption, "A.K.A. the Greater Internet Dickwad Theory"

Yeah, I think we can get away with saying "fuckwad" if we're just gonna make a similar image wholesale to replace the current.

Though I suppose there is the question of how close it'd hew to the original one-panel Penny Arcade comic.

If someone wants to modify 12 to be more literal, sure, that works too.

So? Are we okay with replacing the image to 12?

I'm requesting a clock. If it expires, we should change the image to 12.

12 has a typo. It says Dickward, with an R.
