NEW YORK—In a move widely criticized as insulting the intelligence of viewers, a movie chyron reportedly drew outrage Wednesday for reading “Davenport, IA” as if it wasn’t glaringly obvious that the establishing shot was of Vander Veer Botanical Park. “Yeah, no shit we’re in Davenport, IA—do they really think I need that spelled out for me when I’m looking right at Vander Veer Botanical Park’s historic Grand Allée?” said moviegoer Marshall Helms, who added that he had half a mind to demand a refund if the movie was going to continue with the condescending bullshit. “I can infer the setting from Vander Veer’s iconic Stone Fountain without some stupid chyron holding my hand the whole goddamn time, thanks. It’s probably just for international viewers, but I still find it demeaning when films have so little faith in their audience. I’m not some uncultured swine who will see Davenport’s Municipal Rose Garden and confuse it for the fucking Quad City Botanical Center without the movie’s help.” At press time, Helms reportedly stormed out of the theater after a second chyron reading “November” was overlaid on an unmistakable shot of Vander Veer Conservatory’s annual Chrysanthemum Festival.

Walmart, Wireless Source, and the Rotten Core of Marketplace Fraud: I Ordered 128GB, Got a Glorified Calculator

By JT Santana | Consumer Advocate, Writer, and the Last Person You Should Try to Scam There are scams. Then there are scams so absurd they deserve their own documentary, narrated by Morgan Freeman and backed by full orchestral contempt. But what happened to me at the hands of Wireless Source—and under the blessed blue banner of Walmart—deserves something even more potent than shame: it deserves…
