Humorous and Thought-Provoking Chart and Graphs

I enjoy giving presentations and creating charts and graphs that present complex data in a meaningful, engaging manner. But most people don't. It's tough to keep an audience entertained during a presentation, but it's even more difficult to create engaging charts and graphs.

GraphJam is a favorite website of mine where people like you and I create and submit charts and graphs that take facts and figures about mainstream culture and depict them in a humorous and thought-provoking way. GraphJam describes itself as "the unholy love child of bored office workers, music and pop culture."

Here are some of my favorite GraphJams:

CultureGraph is another site that does the same thing, describing itself as "accountants meet pop culture". Many of the charts and graphs there are intelligent and thought-provoking cultural statements. Each of these sites can serve as a lesson in being creative and entertaining while presenting data.
