Yesterday I saw an ad for a big 4x4 truck that DID NOT mention horse
power; instead it boasted about the awesome torque this beast
possessed. I have been talking to the TV for years telling it that
it's torque, not horsepower, that people buying pickup trucks actually
want, and it's finally listened to me. Probably because the engineers
told the marketing guys that if they wanted more horsepower in the
next truck, they'd have to start using jumbo-jet engines, so now the
marketing guys have to (GASP!) break the truth to the public.
What this has to do with art filters is anyone's guess, but I thought
this was a good place to get it off my chest.
Thanks for reading.
