As a cover for my work as a superhero, I work for a giant international company which specializes in selling legal research tools and materials to lawyers. As part of a re-alignment of business units, we recently had to do a company-wide exercise where we got together in small groups and looked at these big posters of our business, brainstormed about what we found, and then picked one of our group to present our findings to the other groups. (Ugh.. awful. Hated it as much as you'd expect someone who owns a mug with this on it to hate something like that). Anyway, these posters are drawings of the business: the different business units, some competitors, the Goal, etc.. But, at the top of this poster is a group of people with labels on them: "Attorney", "Paralegal", "Partner", whatever, these are our customers; so over top of all of them, it says "Customers". And right below that, in smaller type, in parenthesis, it says "(Illustrative)". Because, you know, we wouldn't want to claim that all Attorneys are black women in green suits, or that every Partner is an Indian guy with square glasses - no, these are just illustrative representations of customers, an artist's impression, even. Any resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental, etc..
Sheesh
