Those Brit spots are odd. Thanks for the culture shock.

I remember a bakery in Paris that served bread in various anthropomorphic forms with raisin features. The window advertised "sandwichs avec les yeux". It was very odd.

By the way, it's not all that hidden, but MailShrimp is viral marketing for MailChimp. Their posters are all over BART and they've gotten Bay Area movie theaters to play the video before previews. They also did JailBlimp and KaleLimp (which does not appear to involve a limp?). I am waiting for QuailPimp.

Dr. Smith is covered all over with leaves! He's not a stalk, not a stalk! His face is the wrong color for celery, too much white, too much blue! Why does nobody see this? What is really going on? What has happened to Dr. Smith?!
