Recently I’ve been looking to get some plants (trees) for my apartment. At one point after googling for “italian cypress” I came across this link:

which soon lead me to this page:

Cool - the Italian Cypress trees I was looking for. Though I’d never before thought plants were so…. cool.

After looking around the site a bit, I discovered that that guy in the red shirt is a big fan of plants:

I also quickly discovered that these pictures were clearly photoshopped (and not always that well). And the “subliminal” messaging wasn’t so “subliminal.”

I can get the idea that “sex sells” but, I’m not sure why this guys got a gun. (4th pic on the right - Is that attractive?)

Can I plant some cheesecake?

I suppose I could say something interesting about how this reflects on society or the current state of affairs for the “average” website, or something general about marketing…but no, I’m just amused. And for some reason really want to buy a Palm Tree.

Have you tried the drive-thru Web?

Forget the iPhone, if you want to browse the Web while on the move, this is the best way to do it! Eliot and I found this handy Web kiosk in a McDonald’s drive-thru on Rt. 128, just south of the Mass Pike! Leave your iPhone at home and don’t spill coffee on the keyboard!
