God Bless the NY Post for knowing its audience. For some reason the average NY Post reader has no idea how gravity works so the tabloid has to literally draw a picture.
While covering the unfortunate suicide of a man, who leapt off the balcony of this building, the editor felt it necessary to draw a dotted line, complete with a pointing arrow, so that readers wouldn't become confused.
Apparently the Post conducted a survey and if they don't draw the line pointing down, 75% of their readers will think the jumper ascended into heaven. It would be cool if the next time somebody jumps off anything they draw the dotted line going up.
May I suggest adding a stick figure to your illustrations of jumping suicides? You could write neat little captions for them to say. "Goodbye cruel world!" "Look out below!" "Might as well jump!" "I'm falling for this building!" "I just shit myself!"
Thank you NY Post for letting us all know how f'ing dumb you think we are! Thank you!!!
