What are your thoughts on fruit?
This one has been brewing a little while (well, a little over ten days) and I finally realised no one else was going to post it.

XKCD is a popular webcomic. One day, this webcomic is posted discussing the relative merits of fruit and the title "fuck grapefruit."

Needless to say, fans of grapefruit are insulted. Not only that, but banana fans want to know why their fruit was unfavourably rated in the "ease of eating" department. Some of them must be tongue-in-cheek, but it's difficult to pick them out of the genuine morass of hurt, confusion and anger. Well, mainly anger.

The blog post.

Dude, you have to peel a banana. Yes it's stupid easy but it's still not as easy as just biting into something.

FRUIT: SERIUZ BIZNESS.

So, um, does a lot of the world call it a rockmelon?

Also,

Ever tried to peel an orange at work without any special tools?

Tools? Special tools? Wow, what kind of Luddite am I? I only use fingers.

See, I'm just enraged that blueberries are charted tastier than cherries. I like a blueberry, don't get me wrong, but only as a component of something else. Blueberries by themselves are kind of tasteless except for the skins. Cherries, on the other hand, are a delightful treat no matter how you eat them. I am enraged.

I shall write to my MP!

The expression "fuck grapefruit" reminded me of a totally distasteful anedcote about citrus-related cystitis. You can probably work out the details for yourself. At least you don't get that problem with bananas.

The cantaloupe vs Rockmelon argument is more evidence for my theory about Antipodeans, who, with the youngest branch of the English language are determined to assign their useage as normal and standard and everyone else as just weird. I can only imagine what it will be like when there are space colonies.

HMPH! Why should I listen to someone with such a clear anti-citrus bias!?

I was going to say that everyone should send mail you their favorite fruit to prove how wrong you are. But then I realized that getting hundreds of boxes of rotten fruit probably wouldn’t be much fun for you or your postman.

I dunno, the thought of hundreds of fans ordering fruitbaskets for this guy filled with oranges is pretty hilarious.

Obviously the most relevant question is why do the seedless grapes get to score twice? And considering how expensive those little fuckers are, this comic is clearly not only fruitist, but also elitist.
