A National Intelligence Failure
A PowerPoint presentation from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the US got out onto the Internet. It contains many horrors.
Let's begin with an entire slide with a pie chart on it. Surely just a single number would have done here?
Also in the presentation is a wonderful slide with clip art versions of various problems: And then the full horror is revealed. That slide may not look like much but in the actual presentation every single element on that slide is animated, using differnet animations (some sliding onto the page, some swirling in) and accompanied by sound: the sound made by the fairy Tinkerbell when she appears.Credit: Slate article Spy Central Slip-up.
