Warning: Your World Is About to Be Turned Upside Down
What a waste of time, brainwaves, money, computing power, and newspaper inches.
Seriously? Somebody had to work really hard to figure out that most cultural events in New York happen at the grandiose cultural centers built in Manhattan, and the most talked-about theatrical performances happen on Broadway?
Without even reading the entirety of her amazing study, I bet she determined that most movies screened in Los Angeles occur in movie theaters.
Thanks, Sarah Williams! Now go drink a fucking bucket of hydrochloric acid* and stop wasting everybody's time.
* I have yet to receive the funding necessary to fully study the results, but I have a pretty strong hunch that this will kill you**. Can you let me know so I can put a little red pushpin on my map of your neighborhood?
** Legal disclaimer: I do not actually want Ms. Williams to kill herself. Maybe she can just quit her day job, move to rural West Virginia, and spend the rest of her life quietly tilling soil and muttering to herself***.
*** I wonder which of those two scenarios is more appealing. I would definitely require a long hard think about it, were I presented with those two options...
