Photo taken from the passenger seat of a car: Don't Walk

I like to take photos when I'm in the passenger seat of a car, holding the camera out the window and snapping when I see something that piques my curiosity. This started with my pocket digital camera and lately I've tried it with my fancy new camera (but because the photos are taken from a moving vehicle, the photo quality is pretty much the same). I took this shot today driving on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Yikes. This is one of those signs that pedestrians might actually heed. I don't live in the area so I don't know how long this damaged sign has stood there, but I think it's probably much more effective this way. Would you dare crossing this intersection after coming upon this sign? I can't help but call it "accidental" marketing.

Spam Haiku: Bigger is Better

I get a lot of spam and the subject is usually about enlargement of the male member. But because some legitimate e-mail is placed in my spam folder, I make a point to see what's there—and sometimes I'm mesmerized by the smutty subject lines. Recently, I began to use the subject lines to compose Spam Haiku. Here is one:

Subject line of spam message:
She will love you more than any other guy

My spam haiku:
She will love you more
You—bigger than any guy
Bigger than before
