I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Guaranteed holidays don't increase shareholder value.

Well, I have 5 weeks paid vacation, next month I get double salary (at reduced tax rate), and come Christmas time another double salary. And Austria has the lowest unemployment rate in the EU. Corrupt and incestuous as the Austrian economy may be, it's good if you can be a part of it. :P

That's just...pretty dreadful.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Why do you say that?

I have seen it before, maybe here, but dreadful seems a reach.

A fake vietnam like memorial for fictional sci-fi dead?

Oddly enough if I look that up in google, one of the first hits is a thread asking if the pictures offends/is in poor taste.

I wouldn't hang a print of it in my living room, but the first couple of times I saw it I thought it was clever.

Anyone that is offended by that picture needs to get a grip.

A grip on what? That said, I don't find it offensive, just in rather poor taste.

Seeing Darth Vader appearing to mourn random Imperial dead is more offensive to me than the picture itself.

I was responding to the "Oddly enough if I look that up in google, one of the first hits is a thread asking if the pictures offends/is in poor taste." part of your post.

I'm not sure how that picture could be seriously considered to be in "poor taste" to a serious person.
