He isn't doing a talk about his little stick figures, but about one of the joys of maths and science and his small contribution to public education. Do the writers of Penny Arcade have a something to say that TED would be interested in showcasing? Do they even want to do TED?

What the fuck? His little stick figures get a Ted Talk but goddamn Penny Arcade gets nothing? Fuck off.

Why are stick figures usually all men?

Because you can't print a flag texture on a stick figure man.

Just another sad reminder of how untalented I am. Although I can draw a pretty mean stick figure.

This video could have used an editor, as in somebody who knows when to leave things out. I thought this was going to be interesting but I made it through the first 3 minutes then gave up. Having an animated stick figure relate your ponderous ramblings doesn't make them interesting.

Somewhat ironic: Aslan is Turkish for Lion, and is also the name of the Lion in C. S Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, a character who represents Jesus, at least in parts. COINCIDENCE? probably. but still!

I think the outrage is not that it paints Jesus poorly, but that the implication is that he is "merely" an extraordinary man rather than the Son of God and our Saviour. You know, kinda like how calling a stick figure Muhammad somehow diminishes his glory.

Did anybody else notice in the thumbnail, on the side of the car, it looks like a stick figure is whipping another stick figure?

She looks a bit like Elvira Mistress of the Dark in this video.
I find it odd that everyone finds her so "hot." She's cute and seems like a fun person to hang out with, but not so much hot really.

maybe it's because she IS cute and IS fun to hang out with MAKES her hot?
Shocking, I know, but some people find qualities other than the physical to be hot.

Not quite, but of course it depends on how you choose to interpret the term "hot." The most common application of the word in describing a person is in reference to their physical and, more specifically, sexual attraction.
It's atypical, to say the least, for a person to describe someone as hot in reference to a list of traits excluding their physicality. You hear "Man, that chick is totally just-okay looking and built like a preteen boy, but she is so effing hot, Broseph. I totally don't wanna do her, but I would enjoy hanging out having a conversation and glass of lemonade with her. She's scorching hot! High five!" not so much.
Cute? You betcha. Winning personality? So it would seem. Hot? Mmm... Big negatory on that one, Kimosabe. But let's just agree to disagree.

What isn't physically "hot" about her? It's never dawned on me that she is anything but. Do you mean hot like stick figure vomit faced model hot, cuz that ain't hot -- that's obnoxious. Or do you mean that her body isn't as toned as that of a hot womans? Either we have a different standard of beauty or I'm misunderstanding a piece of the hotness puzzle.

When I look at her I see an adolescent girl, and I don't tend to regard who I perceive to be young-looking, underdeveloped girls as hot pieces of ass. I'm realizing that one key requisite in my standard of hotness is the piece of meat woman must actually look like a (grown-ass) woman, and not a (still-maturing) teenager.
But that's just me.

I guess it depends on the context. Puppies are cute too.

Cute = perceived jailbait

I'll remember that next time I go to flog myself for my sins.
