What is wrong with this picture????

C. W. page from Newsweek:

1. Bush getting the "up" arrow

for announcing a surge that won't work?

[mod mom]

2. Did the arrows get flipped the wrong way?

[NYC]

3. What?

I see the Chrysler Building, but I don't recognize anything else in the picture.

Edit: Sorry, I was looking at the ad. If you are referring to the arrows, they all seem to be going in the wrong direction.

[Poiuyt]

4. It looks like ALL the arrows are wrong

[IndyOp]

5. Bush, Pelosi and Saddam arrows are all wrong... : ( (n/t)

[Life Long Dem]

6. Initial look. Thumbs up and thumbs down for the arrows.

There on the spot with Rudy. Rudy is going nowhere when he can't even secure his own plan for office when he leaves it in the hotel.

7. Total bullshit.

They give an ups to Shrub but then trash him?

And a downer to Nancy? Give me a freakin break.

CW gets a big fat :thumbsdown:

8. oops, someone switched them all. Here is picture

way too funny. I thought it was just an odd thing until the Saddam video and statement don't correspond with up arrow. I got a screen shot.

9. Um, guys. Its not "thumbs up/down". Its a PERISCOPE. As in a Submarine's Periscope.

Up means "Looking at this issue", down means "not looking at this issue".

Or at least, that is how I see the Periscope metaphor.

[TroglodyteScholar]

10. Where does the page mention periscope *anything*?

If it's a periscope metaphor, what does <- -> mean?

Looks to me like they got their icons switched.

On edit: Oh, I do see that CW is a subsection of an area called Periscope. My apologies. I'm still not sure it makes sense, tho :P

11. Page Title: "Newsweek Periscope"

Navigation bar says:

Newsweek Home » Periscope » Conventional Wisdom

[DaveJ]

12. The Banner says it's a Periscope

It's there... on the Newsweek banner.

[uppityperson]

13. that is just confusing. Pelosi does not deserve looking at?

So someone who is going down, who is bad, gets an up arrow, like "I am looking around" while someone doing something great gets a down arrow saying "I don't have to look around to see where I'm going"? Time for a set of letters to MSNBC though anyone reading the whole thing will probably just wonder wtf? Dang librul media.

[rpgamerd00d]

14. No, read my post again.

"Down Periscope" means "the viewing of the event is over".
"Up Periscope" means "beginning to look at this, developing."

I think.

I *am* just guessing here.

[uppityperson]

15. darm confusing, how is viewing Saddams hanging or weather not over,

but Pelosi not, Miers is? I am confused and I am a smart person too you see. Think of the children.
