I may not be the right generation? But I like the simplicity. I thought it was a teaser to some kind of preview of the new VP design! I would have like a just a tad more info to peak my interest.

And for those that doubt my intuitiveness with general opinion, I have an 85% prediction rate on "Everybody Votes" on my Wii! Making general bans is a lazy way to deal with a perceived problem.

I saw it on Newseum, looked at it for a second, couldn't figure out what they were going for and moved on. Then as soon as I saw this posting saying "I love a good pun headline" my brain did the math instantly. Maybe I hadn't had my coffee yet ... Yeah - put me in the “I didn’t get it” camp.
