The article humorously explores various scenarios in which dim lighting carries specific social implications. It plays on stereotypes related to restaurants, medical offices, personal spaces, and institutional buildings. For instance, a dimly lit restaurant suggests expensive wine, while a dimly lit doctor's office hints at a lack of insurance. The piece cleverly juxtaposes settings like a library or an art museum, where the reasons for dim lighting can range from genuine aesthetic concerns to humorous suggestions of crime or financial distress.
If a restaurant is dimly lit, every glass of wine costs more than twenty-five dollars.
If a doctor’s office is dimly lit, you don’t have insurance.
If your date’s bedroom is dimly lit and there’s an unframed 'Back to the Future' poster taped to the wall, they can’t afford their electricity bill.
If an art museum is dimly lit and you're the only one in it, you're carrying out a covert art heist. Wow, your life is so cool.
