death by PowerPoint 

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."

Death By PowerPoint 2007 

The shocking over use of the new "3D" and Smart-Art features in PowerPoint 2007 to make a dull presentation look 'great'. Although the author might love it, the audience will have hurty eyes from all the ugly shiny effects and bright colors.

Joe: I had to go watch the new presentation on health and safety today

Bob: How was it?

Joe: OMG, it was Death by PowerPoint 2007. It had so much Smart-Art in it that I needed to put my shades on.
