Sad new world / perceptual glitches
When I was in Shepparton a couple of months back for the 2004 Grand Prix Rally, I shared a motel room with my co-driver. One evening, I looked out the window across the main drag and noticed a large sign above a shop that said, “Sad New World”. Surprised by this, I called Andrew over to see it. Closer inspection and careful peering around the large horse on a stick that adorned the footpath in front of the shop revealed that the sign really said, “Saddlery World”. Since then, I’ve used “sad new world” as a shorthand for perceptual glitches of this kind.
