Web caricatures

I see from this post that caricatures can be recognised, what with all their textual fragments and that. To me though this is the best web caricature.

Apart, we are weak, but together, we combine to make one magnificently fvcked-up Nabokov character.

The poor mixed up kid.

Why don't you send him a song? I'm sure he'd feel better about it.

Edwards must have a low estimation of the intelligence of his readers if he thinks they will confuse two separate claims, namely:

1. Percentage of violent deaths "not reported by the press".
2. Percentage of violent deaths "not recorded by IBC".

The Medialens trashing of IBC in question is:
In fact there is no longer any excuse for this innocent reliance on Iraq Body Count (IBC). A review of Iraq deaths reported by four major US newspapers found that IBC missed more than one of every ten deaths reported by the news media. A separate study soon to be published by Columbia University found that the majority of violent deaths in a phone sample from Baghdad were not recorded by IBC.
This is incorrect. The study did not find "that the majority of violent deaths in a phone sample from Baghdad were not recorded by IBC". (It found that IBC may've recorded 62% of the deaths). See: http://dissident93.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/les-roberts-new-study/
