Help Me Understand You People A Bit Better.

[INVICTUS]

HOW COME WHEN PEOPLE GO TO THE MOVIES,AND THE VILLAIN IS PORTRAYED,THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE ROOT FOR THE BAD GUY.THEN IN REAL LIFE,THEY ALWAYS WANT SOMEONE BEHIND BARS.

HOW COME IN MOVIES ITS COOL TO WEAR SUNGLASSES,BUT WHEN YOU DO IT PEOPLE THINK ITS SILLY.

HOW COME YOU CAN GET PAID TO PRODUCE PORNOS,BUT CANT PAY A RANDOM PERSON FOR SEX.

ISNT DATING A GIRL IN FACT,PAYING FOR SEX?

How can something be NEW and IMPROVED????

Take Pepto Bismol... it is old... been around for years... now, they add some new formula to it... and it is different, so it's NEW... and since the new formula makes it better it is IMPROVED....

I never understood that joke... the "How can something be 'new and improved'" one, it seems pretty self-explanitory to me.

Sorry Corn.

new - applies to what is freshly made. If something is NEW, meaning the first time around, how can it also be improved as there is no standard to compare with to gauge the impoved-ness??

True... new does mean that... but with the added formula, it would be "new" as well... perhaps a better word would be "Upgraded"... Improved would fit I think though... because the standard was the old bottle of Pepto... whether the formula actually improved the product is not known, but Pepto seems to think so, so I think improved would work..

So perhaps it should read "UPGRADED and IMPROVED!!!"

I'll go along with your definition of New... I think the one I used works, but upgraded is the more suited word for this.

Why is this a discussion?? Man, my day is a waste.

Typical lawyer - wants to argue about everyfuckinglittlepiddlyassthing...

Well, something can be new and improved, it's a new formula and it's better than the old. Likewise, it can be new and worse, introducing new coke which is new but tastes worse . Finally, it can just be new, we have a new formula but it isn't any better or worse than the old it just allows us to cut production costs.

I wouldn't be a good lawyer if I didn't argue, now would I?

Nope. If it is NEW - then there is no stanard by which to judge If it is improved...
