Is anyone else struggling with the format of the article?
It starts with the name, age, and appearance of the darkroom? As if it's a character? And then all of a sudden it's a dialogue with no introduction whatsoever, where the bold text is one character and the normal text is another?
This doesn't explain why anything at all. It's just a weirdly formatted snarky dialog. With a strange do and don't at the end.
- egypturnash 7y agoThis appears to be a regular column in the Guardian called “Pass Notes”, which takes this format to discuss... anything, really; the previous installment is about the emerging practice of stopping teens from congregating in places by installing lights that highlight their pimples.

- onemoresoop 7y agoOn a tangent here but seriously, lights that highlight pimples? That is so cruel. I still remember having pimples like 25 years ago and how humiliating it felt. Now there's a light that teens need to run away from?
- Emma_Goldman 7y agoI like The Guardian but hate this format. It's neither informative nor, as I'm guessing it's supposed to be, humorous. Often it's just confusing. Yet they use it for everything.
- peteretep 7y agoThey do not use it for anything other than a single daily column
- Emma_Goldman 7y agoI meant they use it for a wide range of subject matters, not that every article in The Guardian is in this format.
