I really don't like XKCD. I don't get why people find it funny. Of course, there are some extremely good ones, but IMO, most of them consist of badly-drawn poorly-executed unoriginal jokes.

It turns out I'm not alone, and I'm much amused by the rantings at http://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com

It's interesting how someone spends the time and effort in maintaining a blog and writing long articles about something he/she doesn't like. If I don't like something I just invest my time in something better.

It depends if writing that content brings eyeballs and advertising revenue.

Obviously, this is only my opinion but:

I find the rants amusing.

I take comfort in the fact that there are people that share my opinion, especially when the sites that I most regularly visit (SO,HN,Reddit etc.) all seem to take a differing view - that XKCD is good.

It's intriguing to me why people would think most of the comics are funny. It's something I really don't understand. Is there something wrong with my sense of humour? And when there's something I don't understand, I try to study it.
