XKCD usually hits it right on the nose, but this is wrong for one big reason: when you get enough people crowding around trying to take photos instead of actually appreciating where they are, it starts disrupting *other people* who are trying to be present. How many times have we all been at a concert where we end up…

Yeah. For a very long time, the BBC couldn't so much as show a commericial brand on television for fear of underhanded product placement, and so had to invent a number of fake brands to fill the shelves of their fictional shops, and cover the branding on any packaging used as part of an arts and crafts project on,…

Ghostbusters
