The phrase used to described the numbing sensation that accompanies a 30-slide briefing. Behind all the PowerPoint jokes are serious concerns that the program stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making.
"Last year when a military Web site, Company Command, asked an Army platoon leader in Iraq, Lt. Sam Nuxoll, how he spent most of his time, he responded, “Making PowerPoint slides.” When pressed, he said he was serious."
"Despite such tales, “death by PowerPoint,” the phrase used to described the numbing sensation that accompanies a 30-slide briefing, seems here to stay. The program, which first went on sale in 1987 and was acquired by Microsoft soon afterward, is deeply embedded in a military culture that has come to rely on PowerPoint’s hierarchical ordering of a confused world."

Didn't the VP's presentation just blow you away? I loved the falling apples turning into dollar bills.
But what was the point?
Dunno; it was definitely a powerpuff presentation.

The anime is also produced by Cartoon Network, Toei Animation, and Aniplex even though the creator of the original show (Craig McCracken) did not take any part in this.The anime aired in Japan on July 1, 2006 and has yet to come to the U.S. or any other countries for that matter, but Cartoon Network said that the anime will be aired worldwide. The Ocean Group announced that they will dub the anime into English but they are not sure if it's going to make it to american television, or if the voice actors from the original show will voice act for the anime.
