Title: Larry David vs Bad Packaging
Post by: Mr. Analog on June 01, 2012, 01:53:36 PM
Thanks to a conversation about quite possibly the worst design in history (i.e. clamshell packaging) on /. ( http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/06/01/1657230/worst-design-ever-plastic-clamshell-packaging )

I treat you to Larry David and his eternal struggle with plastic:

I am going to agree with the top reply to that on /. "It's not the packaging, it's the seal"

Such a great start to (2nd episode of) a great season.

And the episode's main focus isn't even tough-to-open plastic, but it is extremely relevant to the classic misunderstanding in the final scene.

I had to laugh at the obligatory Penny Arcade link:

And yet still relevant :)

Yeah, some of the old XKCD and PA and PVP are kinda fun to read and see the old art in.
