Anti-PowerPoint Party vows end to death by slides

[Lars77]

Everybody complains about PowerPoint presentations. But nobody does anything about them – until now.

Meet Switzerland's Anti-PowerPoint Party, aka the APPP. "The APPP sees itself as the advocate of approximately 250 Million people worldwide, who, every month, are obliged to be present during boring presentations in companies, universities, or at other institutions," reads the party's mission statement.

The APPP's founder, Matthias Poehm, is a man on a mission – and his objection to PowerPoint is not merely that presentations based on it are a gawdawful bore, but that they're a crippling drain on the world economy.

1. And people think our politics are nutty

An entire party based on being against powerpoint is the ultimate one issue voter party.

2. Yeah, but...

...as someone who has been forced to create some of those PPPs...I agree.

3. I used to be ani-PowerPoint.

But then I got turned on to animations, and I can't get enough PowerPoint now. ;-)
