QUIZ:

Why does my digital camera have a red-eye reduction option on it instead of just making it a given?
Because:

A) Some people just look better with red eyes

B) The more serious photographers among us can learn the ropes of basic photography through the practice of switching between ON and OFF

C) There was a mix-up at headquarters in which Billy's supervisor told him to make one extra space for a feature, six spaces in total, when in fact only five were needed, so after a week long crisis at the Sunny head office, the board voted eight to three that they should designate that space for a red-eye reduction option.

"But what about logic, about common sense, about quality, about freedom, and justice?" Cried Billy.

"No, son, its too late. Maybe if we were a company that actually had a history in photography, rather than a marketing-based company that can get away with selling useless features, we would do something about it. But this is life, son, and my daughter has been bugging me for that new Porsche all damn week."  ¶ 22:12
