Less is more, remove the joke explainer of labeling out seed. Much funnier that way.

But what do the wheels represent in this visual metaphor? Are they having sex with their shoes on? What's the sky supposed to be? I'm just not comfortable laughing at ambiguity.

You needed less than 10 days to start a trend! Quite cool if you ask me.

Hate to be the one to point this out, but those aren't seeds

Seed comes almost entirely from the female plant ovule. The male gamete, transported in pollen, makes but a minor contribution in catalyzing the process. Hell, many plants form fruit and sometimes even unfertilized yet viable parthenogenetic seeds without male genetic contribution. Seed is a poor metaphor in this instance.

Very poor metaphor. Usually you notice poor metaphor when nobody knows what it means.

Tell it to the Bible, they started it

They are fun and all but it's free advertisement for them ... They are fun and all but it's free advertisement for them ...

It's actually not. If it was, it would be free to use them.
