SWA #21

1.  This article is arguing that Americans have become less and less willing or interested in reading long amounts of uninterupted text.  It's satirical and aims to poke fun of how most Americans won't even attempt to read something that has no pictures, headlines or is longer than a couple lines of text.
2.  The author uses hyperbole by exaggerating how bothered people are by the long, uniinterupted blocks of text.  In the second to last paragraph, the interview with a Detroit local is comical because she implies that only serious things are accompanied by large photos of celebrities or have pop culture references.
