PostgreSQL wants to be web scale but it will never touch MongoDB scale. MongoDB is true web scale with full cloud compatibility and horizontal scaling like how clouds spread out in the real world. MongoDB mimics physics because physics is green technology. MongoDB is truly efficient with zero carbon footprint unlike PostgreSQL which is like diesel exhaust clogging up your network pipes when you try to shard upwards and outwards into the virtual scalable cloud atmosphere. PostgreSQL chokes your environment and doesn't support 10gen's new invention the MAPREDUCE which is the successor to outdated SQL. If you use PostgresSQL with auto-scale your will never support big data but MongoDB can scale up to even 100GB of big rich object data without relations so the data truly represents your client's needs.

This joke got old quite a long time ago.

(And no I promise it's not because I'm using MongoDB.)
