325: A-Minus-Minus
explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

 Title text: You can do this one in every 30 times and still have 97% positive feedback |
Explanation
The Hat Guy is trying to make the world a weirder place by shipping bobcats to his Ebay buyers. Ordinarily negative feedback is used to warn future buyers about sellers that ship broken products or post misleading listings. In this case the unfortunate buyer is leaving feedback warning future buyers that the Hat Guy ships bobcats instead of the actual products.
The title text is about a flaw in Ebay's feedback system - you can intentionally do nasty things to your buyers and get very bad reviews, but still have overall high feedback scores as long as you don't do it too often.

Why should the woman be Danish? She wasn't introduced at this point, and has different hair. --141.89.226.146 10:32, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
