Critique of Your PowerPoint Presentation Titled "Sales Forecast, Third Quarter."

Stefan Tilkov,

Ross Brown:

Excerpt:

Your ransom-note-like use of multiple fonts and sizes on each slide led us, the viewers, to identify not with the content but with the feeling of being trapped and held hostage, our freedom being contingent on our ability to appear to understand your many indecipherable charts and graphs. With this quick nod to Stockholm syndrome, we began to feel for you as our captor and, eventually, as our fellow prisoner.
