Whilst driving home this evening, I caught the tail end of “All Things Considered” on NPR (yes, I do listen to NPR sometimes). The last item they ran was an interview with two political ad voices. You might recognize them. They have the audio up on this page, and in the middle, it’s rather amusing. They talk about how the tone of voices can affect the statements they are making.

I swear you’ll never see Humpty Dumpty the same way again… Tax stealer… what’s this world coming to.

I’m not political but… http://jon.netdork.net/2006/10/06/im-not-political-but?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=im-not-political-but http://jon.netdork.net/2006/10/06/im-not-political-but#comments Fri, 06 Oct 2006 21:34:37 +0000 Jonathan Angliss http://jon.netdork.net/2006/10/06/im-not-political-but/

If you cannot find a good solution for a long standing problem, such as a communications issue (see Katrina, and WTC communications problems), then why not “hack” your way around the issue and make it a law that other people have to solve your problems.
