Or, "Power corrupts, Powerpoint corrupts absolutely." If you'd ever sat through some of the deadly, dreary dull utterly-empty-but-somehow-full-of-[censored] 'presentations' fronted by lifeless, soulless career-junkie 'executives' that I had and wondered just how anything ever gets done on this miserable planet if this is the international business standard, then you'll know exactly why that quote is true.
It's not so much the software itself, but the powerpoint attitude: The strange concept that you don't need any knowledge about your (probably non-existent) product or (probably sub-standard) service, or even the bare mimnimum of intelligence or personality that might somehow be sufficient to cover for the complete lack of content in your so-called 'presentation' just as long as you have a smeggin' Powerpoint slideshow with fancy fades, wipes, a few bar charts, a pretty background and time at the end for a "Q&A session before lunch"

Sorry for the massive OT rant, this was supposed to be a short, jokey post but something just touched a nerve there.
