Most Relevant Infographic (For)Ever

I missed out on a lot of 1980s childhood things because I was moving all over the globe during my formative years. Recently I learned that there is a word for people like me called, "Third Culture Kids". Anyway, perhaps because of this I have a super duper emotional connection to The Muppets. It's one of the few TV shows that I know from my youth. That and Gunsmoke.

(I normally am not too into personal disclosure here, but when Jim Henson died I was a mess. What a man he was! So imaginative! Such a loss, too early in his life.)

Anyway, my dad and I had a ritual of watching The Muppet Show, which in retrospect was maybe more his thing than mine. But I still have The Muppet Movie cassette tape which I will occasionally pop into the deck in my car (now you know). Also, I chose Rainbow Connection as my high school senior song. It's true, I am not afraid of cheese.

Anyway, these furry creatures shine bright in my shared cultural experience.

Also, read the comments from the original post for a detailed critique of the design. It seems more research would have been beneficial before designing the Venn Diagram. Let this be a warning when designing for an audience in the know.
