Isn't the mere fact that one shows this -even if under the guise of "isn't this terrible"- makes one as bad as the people who put it up in the first place. Like when news shows horrible footage while saying "how horrible that someone filmed this and put it on TV". Lipstick on a pig.
@Muzition The fattest is USA. Followed by Mexico then the UK. Japan and South Korea are thinnest. Although one might wonder if a country replete with starvation would be skinniest.
@Ellie recently the New York Times and other newspapers published articles about the demise of Braille. A lot of visually-impaired people are now using audio only. There is legitimate fear that Braille is losing a foothold within the Blind community. So @Ted is not wrong.
This won't work. Braille is location-specific meaning a 1-2-5 dots formation and a 1-4-5 would feel the same with this device yet the former is an "h" and the latter is a "d". Unless you know which way is up you can't read a single Braille letter. With a circular object there is no up per se.
@ted there seems to be a huge misunderstanding prevalent in all the "haters". Your idea of love and this grand proposal are not mutually exclusive. Love may be "what you're left with after the production number is finished" but that does not in any way diminish the "show of love" inherent in the performance. Humans celebrate. We have ticker-tape parades for heroes. Presents and caroling at Christmas. Trick-or-treating on Halloween. This proposal is just another manifestation of humanity's desire to celebrate a wonderful moment. In no way does this proposal guild their relationship with eternal love. But it also does not disqualify or diminish their love either. I don't celebrate my birthday but I don't think blowing out candles and making a wish is stupid. Or pointless. Or "missing the point". Bottom line - the haters are opening Pandora's Box. The legitimacy of their argument is based on a logic which - when taken to its furthest point - concludes that all symbolic acts are pointless. One should just do the act. Not celebrate the act. So... no more weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, roasts, toasts, ceremonies, awards. After all, none of those are doing anything but honoring something else.
