Truth In Design
There's a very funny short film called Truth In Advertising in which the characters speak about their motivations and what is on their minds rather than "normal" dialogue. Example: "I'm just interrupting to instill some fear and humilate Bob here." (Clips from Truth In Advertising are on YouTube.) Now there is a single panel cartoon version for the design industry called Business Guys on Business Trips Example: "Printing every single page of our 1,500 web site is very important to a middle manager like me." It's funny because it's true. Go look.
