The Art of Powerpoint

A little PowerPoint snark by way of McSweeney’s to brighten up your afternoon. I Am the Orson Welles of PowerPoint:

No two of my PowerPoints are the same. While I have yet to craft my Citizen Kane, I consider the PowerPoint I gave at the conference in Atlanta last year to be my Taxi Driver. The regional sales meeting in Denver was my Ishtar. And right now I’m experimenting with 3D technology to create a visually immersive PowerPoint experience that will rival the cinematic wizardry of James Cameron’s Avatar.

Most excellent.
