The jatropha shrub slideshow was featured in the Miami Herald's Multi-Media section. Though the two and a half minute-long narrated presentation is filled with a a dozen eye-popping images of Haiti's scenic farmlands and the process behind creating biofuel from the jatropha shrub, the poor audio quality seems to overshadow the whole purpose of the slideshow.
The slideshow was intended to showcase the jatropha shrub as a possible alternative to fossil fuel, as well as identify ways to sell and market this plant as a means of addressing our current energy crisis. Everyone can agree this is a crucial topic facing our world today, but unfortunately, in the midst of my having to replay the slideshow several times due to the lackluster sound, I could see how others in my situation may have bypassed the message.
In all fairness, I've become accustomed to viewing top-notch narrated slideshows on the Herald's multi-media site, so maybe that's why I'm sounding a bit harsh right now.

I agree with your take on the audio quality.
Good title for your post, by the way. The alliteration makes someone want to see what it's about.
Yeah, the audio was awful. Proves the point that's the most important part. They should have just left it off.
