ragbag:

the ratio of horatio
an open letter to people with widescreen televisions who insist on forcing everything they watch into a 16:9 proportion (eg. my parents):
look, raynor ganan is as liberal as they come (i had a caricature of noam chomsky tattooed on a prostitute that i see occasionally)—but just cuz you shelled out the yearly wage of a tajikistani rodeo clown for a television the size of a surfboard does not mean that you should be plasmafying every last pixel on your set. the proportions of the female form are dumpy and out of whack and the ratio of horatio makes him look like a whiskerless gimli. there is nothing wrong with 4:3! indeed it is the same ratio of gin to tonic in the beverage that i am enjoying right now.
sorry for getting so political, but this topic really gets me hot and bothered.

This is a cause worth fighting for.
