FEDS: Your honor, our next witness will prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Ubersoft is engaged in "Unholy Business Practices."

FEDS: This witness plays an integral role at Ubersoft: in fact, it is heralded as a "User Enhancement Subsystem" in the latest version of the UberWordSoftPro 2000 Office Suite.

FEDS: The Prosecution calls "Binky, the Cheerful Winking Paper Clip."

Endorsements

"Desperately Unfunny."
- Someone on Dean's World

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."
- Someone else on Dean's World

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"
- Someone on Reddit

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
- Someone else on Reddit

"My god, my eyes are bleeding now. To think that there are comics out there which are worse than User Friendly is every way, when User Friendly was already pretty bottom-of-the-barrel in all departments!"
- Someone on Slashdot (With apologies to User Friendly, who got hit in the crossfire.)

"I'm burying this alive. Oh, look. Digg's comment window is jumping up and down in excitement. It's like it's nodding and agreeing with me. Yay."
