I've come across a few of these across the internet and always thought they were interesting. Is there a name for this type of "art?" Does it come from a common source? Post any you find here.

Looks mostly right on my screen in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. /shrug

Regardless, you probably get the idea and know what I'm talking about.

It is called ASCII art. Don't be a dumbass.

The original picture of ascii art was fucked up, ahd random lines of ascii extending well beyond the normal frame window, etc.

But yes, ascii art goes back 20 years now, or more. Seen everything from homer simpson to naked chicks.

Yes it's called "stupid".
