The best analogy I read was someone's tag here, the SE is like having someone run a long scratch down the side of your car with a key. It doesn't affect the performance of even the look of your car all that much, it would equate to less than 1% of the paintwork being changed, but every time you looked at your car it would piss you off, and you couldn't help feeling annoyed and wondering why someone would do that to you.

No disrespect to you the the person's sig and i am against the changes Lucas made but it is a poor analogy. Star Wars was Lucas creation if anything he was keying his own car not ours.

Now its Disney's car.

Since the car part of the analogy is clearly more important than illustrating how frustrating it is to be forced to put up with unwanted alterations, I'll run with that:

We're not talking about a personal car that George Lucas keeps in his garage at home. We're talking about a fleet of cars being sold worldwide with unwanted alterations deliberately added at the factory as standard features to all new models. It's infuriating to know that you either have to settle for a worn-out used car, or a new one that's almost what you want, but with really annoying alterations that you can't opt out of.
