Although it may seem strange, slide decks outside of work or educational settings have been growing in popularity with people using them to host PowerPoint presentation parties, pitch family vacations and recap their dating lives on social media. — Dreamstime/TNS
LOS ANGELES: As a woman prepares to pitch her friend to an audience of roughly 200 eager singles, a few of their pals skip around the room, hold up cardboard signs that say “Team Jason” and hype up the crowd. A live band plays early 2000s pop music while the eligible bachelor makes his way to the stage and sits on a velvet blue couch under a spotlight.
"Who is Jason?" the woman says into the mic, before signaling the crowd to turn to her PowerPoint-style presentation showing on two TV screens. This slide shows some of his baby photos.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
