On a lot of news T.V.\ channels, they place the camera quite far away from the |
| 14 |
newsreader, making it almost impossible to notice they are looking at the |
| 15 |
teleprompter, instead of directly into the lens. Maybe that would be a solution |
| 16 |
to this pressing issue ? |

Alternatively, dark glasses could be used, or even better, glasses with painted |
| 19 |
eyes on them from the local joke shop. If you were feeling sadistic and wanted |
| 20 |
to further the misalignment, how about glasses with spring-loaded eyes ? |
