With the recent topics over in Open Discussions regarding being a professional writer vs. a hobbyist, I thought this clip at The Onion was both fitting and amusing.

Want me to move it?

I don't know KD. The Onion is my favorite publication, which should give you an idea on how serious the publication is.
I took the time to look at some of their other graphs. This was one on how immigrants cross the border.

I had a roommate in college from wisconsin who used to bring stacks of the onion newspaper (before the online news days) to me when he returned from home. Good stuff.
I like the "too busy teaching novel-writing class to finish novel" entry.
