Artist Gustavo Sousa used the Olympic rings as data indicators for statistics like obesity, homicides, and number of billionaires. Each ring represents a continent, and the larger the ring, the larger the value. Simple and an interesting metaphor shift.
Which ring represents which continent?
Didn’t know it at the beginning, but halfway through the animation I was able to guess the colors:
Red: Americas
Green: Asia
Black: Europe
Yellow: Africa
Blue: Oceania

would have said the same thing. otherwise it was pretty, and pretty straightforward
Interesting how this site is hell-bent to attack Fox News over PERCEIVED inaccuracies, which assume a stupid audience (sounds like bias to me), and ignores the obvious issues with this graphic. Interesting.
It looked to me like they were making the radius of the circle correspond to the value of the statistic, which makes the big ones seem *really* big. I think it would have been better to use area instead of radius. Or maybe my perception is wrong.
