Man Does Not Like Cables

Mark Fleischmann  |  Mar 18, 2009

Two things you need to know about Christoph Niemann. His artwork has appeared in The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, and American Illustration. And he does not like cables. In this visual essay in the New York Times Opinion section, he explains why. Niemann is not so much Luddite as everyman: Is there anyone out there who cannot relate to the following statement?: "The true malice of headphones, however, is revealed when they are allowed to mingle with other cables."

I agree, man does not like cables, nor does woman, I'd wager, especially honkin' audiophile cables.
