This is something the WSJ decides to write an article on? Man, journalistic standards have really gone down-hill, haven't they? What's next, an article about the merits of white vs yellow paint for the stripes designating spots in the parking lot?

I assume that this is the “we need about X thousands words of filler content” kind of article. I could be wrong of course but the opening paragraph didn’t really make me want to pay to see the rest :)

I mean, I think there's room for interesting, but not important, articles as long as they don't take away from the important stuff.

The front page (yes, dead tree) contains one fun article each day.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly. Of all the things to worry about, this one makes the list. It just goes to show you the sorry state of our concerns.

White for designating spots, yellow for marking prohibited areas.
