No DAPs, but still pretty funny.

Readers may recall that I coined the term Dog’s Ass Plot (DAP) in reference to

A graphical representation of data in any field that, through a lack of clear axis labels, selective inclusion/exclusion of data, visual presentation style, and/or other questionable characteristics, generates a misleading interpretation of the data in the viewer, especially by implying an illusory pattern that is not supported by the available data.

Well, a new website called GraphJam (which borrows its general modus operandi from LOLcats), showcases user-generated graphs designed not to mislead but to amuse. Current content is limited, but here are two that I thought were chuckle-worthy.
