What is it about PowerPoint that inspires us to mash together discordant colors with an abundance of text to produce the most hideous slides imaginable? We may never know the answer, but at least we now have a reason to celebrate the worst that ever was.
InFocus, makers of projectors that shine a light on PowerPoint abominations everywhere, is seeking the worst PowerPoint slide ever made in its "What Not to Present" contest. The company is soliciting submissions via Twitter and will reward the entrant who submits the most repulsive slide with a free projector (which sounds like a very dangerous gift).
"People everywhere are presenting bad PowerPoint slides… and some of them are probably using InFocus technology to do it (we’re sorry). Well, InFocus can’t take it anymore!" a company representative tells us.
The competition runs through May 6 and all entries must submitted via Twitter as replies to the InFocusCorp Twitter account.
Having seen more than our share of eye-bleedingly bad presentations, we can't possibly fathom just how much of an eye sore the eventual winner will need to be.
