When Is a Rhetorical Question the Right Choice For a Headline?

Everyone needs outlets, right? One of the secret benefits of my line of work is that it can be surprisingly entertaining. To myself. Cheekier wireframes don’t generally make their way into clients’ hands. I kind of think that’s a shame. Wireframes also don’t really show all that well on dribbble and places like that, and information architecture isn’t particularly interesting to most people at holiday parties. And, sweet lord, have you ever tried explaining “User Experience Design” to your aunt from Waxahachie? I have, and I can tell you, she ain’t buying it. She likes the ham, thank you very much, because she made it, and could you please pass the dish her way? But no thanks on the stack of lies you’re dishing out about what you do for a living and how it is - swear to god - a real job with meaning and value in the world.

It’s not like people are tripping one another to move to Waxachie, you know.
