A major shift in norms!

Rochus reminds me that I'd been meaning to have a look at the new Tagesschau design. The big news is of course that the anchors now deliver the news standing up instead of sitting behind a desk.

On the homepage there's a little picture in the upper right (linked to a slideshow of the new set) with the subtitle, "Stehen statt sitzen." Having the sense of humor of a fifth-grade boy, I had to snicker because it sounds like a retraction of all those little stickers you see in German bathrooms requesting that men *sit* rather than *stand* while using the facilities...

(Sadly this doesn't sound as funny when I write it down. Too bad.)
