Captivate: Hillary Clinton and Lobsters
In my elevators at work, there’s this farce of a news delivery service called “Captivate”. Essentially, it’s a bunch of advertisements that have one-sentence clips of everything that’s ever happened in the world. It’s unfortunate to think that this is the main source from which many get their news.
I saw two clips that made me laugh. The first was one about Clinton’s performance in the recent Democratic debates. It said that “a body language expert” determined that Clinton had “won” the debates in terms of confidence. Of course, those words don’t really mean anything; what exactly is a “body language expert”, anyway?
The next clip was about how lobsters don’t age. Apparently, as lobsters grow older, their bodies don’t begin to fail, and they don’t become more susceptible to disease.
So, the information I really gained on my elevator ride was that, no matter how good Ms Clinton looks, she will never age as well as a lobster.
