Matt,

Interesting thread. It lends substance to the term, "different isn't necessarily better, it's just different".

I myself was not moved, or insulted, by these attempts at something different. I just know I would not opt for them myself. To each his own though. I just hope we, as Americans, don't continuously do bonsai different just because we want to have a unique style. The style must have merit that supports the change. I can't say I see it in these displays, although I don't feel "turned off", so-to-speak.

Experimentation is how we develop good styles though. Kudos to those who try.

John
