Instructions....ya gimme one of those!?!

How many times as a kid have you rushed home after purchasing a new toy, game, truck, rubix cube, Happy Meal, or whatever, only to find some instructions?

Now following the male stereotype, I should be able to complete any task without instructions. Well fuck stereotypes! When I purchase a barbeque and I open the box and it looks like a bag of marbles with a few LEGO blocks thrown in there. I'm gonna take the high road and choose the instructions.

Which leads me to the purpose of this rant. Poorly instructed instructions. <<< There's a mouthful. Now, wouldn't it be great if instruction booklets were like those pre-school coloring books? Yes?-No? Seriously, one enourmous picture per page, with as little detail as possible. Perhaps, they could even incorporate you into it, little hands with dotted lines showing your each step. This would be the ultimate guide to a successful completion, except for the fact each booklet would run at least 100pages. But it would be easy and simple.

Too many of these "instruction booklets" are being produced by scientists. Best scientist voice: "Ya Jeff, can you get these barbeque prints cut and sequenced for Monday morning sharp?" Haha!!
In this particular department, science needs to take a serious backseat to art.

Its the only way, I tells'ya.
