Just what I was thinking... looks more like a warning than a come-on, LOL!

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I think that photo belongs in the "cutie pie" thread, along with my photos of insects eating each other.

I don't see what's so disturbing about it. I will say it's an incredibly stupid image to use in an advertisement, though! :)

And to think that some jackass got paid to create that image....

Hey Cranberry, if you'd have found one of these mandrillfinches alive, would you have taken it in and cared for it? :lol:

Yes ___

No ___

If no, why not?

In professional ad jargon, such a shining example of creativity would be termed "A Really Bad Idea."

I see this kind of thing flying around in front of my face all the time. I don't know which is more disturbing, the primate-bird blends or the bats with implanted surveillance electronics. And fangs.
