Haven't seen that particular comic in a while! Ridicule-tactics are, if nothing else, at least sometimes creative and humorous. :) These types of comics usually at least under their surface suggest/assume, that science is God-like with all knowledge and already knows or has established -everything possible- about the thing in question. Sometimes they also implicitly suggest that product designers and marketers are "scientists" concerned for your health, who _obviously_ would NEVER try to sell you something possibly dangerous! So anybody who is ever concerned, must be ignorant/irrational/crazy etc :D On a less funny note: I remember seeing similar (perhaps even early versions of the same) comics used, to ridicule people concerned about the possible cumulative unhealthy effects of tobacco (and still earlier, for asbestos...) Sometimes you also see marketers, or such ridicule-comics, making fun of concerned consumers by portraying them as older or "mature" (or at least somehow "old-fashioned"), and therefore(!) somehow childish or stupid. Hey after all, why not just buy things now and think later - after all, you & your family all have good health insurance, don't you? ;) -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76291 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
