In my mind, your life takes the form of a series of sitcom clichés.

First it was the recently unemployed breadwinner, spending his days
sitting in the park, forlornly feeding his packed lunch to the sparrows.

Now it's Ralph Bates at the zoo.

Actually, that's a more nuanced view, and better reflects what I
think. It certainly does have it's place, tho, and is far more than
gimmick, imo.

you have some funny ideas. Though I walk through one all the time, I
can't remember the last time I actually sat in a park. And Enfield
Town park is full of geese, not sparrows.

never heard of it. And I've also not been to a zoo in >30 years.

well, to clarify further, I think in some cases it could in fact be
considered "gimmicky", but some recent 3D movies have used it to great
effect.

One of the complaints I've heard personally (and repeatedly) is that
having to wear the "3D glasses" is very annoying if you wear actual
vision correction glasses already.
