C'mon now

We were a little offended at the postcard that arrived in today's mail. We will grant that we belong to a group of uneducated ignoramus, but pul-ese give us SOME credit. We are not even going to discuss the highly inflammatory statements on the back written by someone hungry for drama and instead focus on the image they want burned in our brain.

Now the pink elephant plant is just in poor taste, considering that the developer in question has spent the better part of the last decade restoring Anchorage's pink elephant into a perfectly acceptable building complex in earthtones so tasteful even the snobby yuppies aren't complaining.

And that big dark cloud they HAD to Photoshop in because it doesn't exist over modern plants, the sponsors of the postcard - the Resurrection Bay Conservation Alliance - KNOW THAT. We are pretty sure they call that FALSE ADVERTISING, MISLEADING THE PUBLIC, and some (Dan) go so far to call it LYING IN A BRAZEN BALD-FACED MANNER.

Captain Dan is over my shoulder forcing the capital letters, one beer and he turns into a drama queen. But he does have a point. There are valid concerns that should be addressed in this proposition. False efforts such as this one make those valid concerns lose their credibility. The Resurrection Bay Conservation Alliance is doing a significant disservice to this community with their gay and lame theatrics. Please get them to stop so that we can focus on the serious concerns we should be looking at instead of all this fluffy posturing.

We warmed up Photoshop CS and shook the magic wand over their vision of Seward, doesn't ours look so much better? Landscaping and a great paint job make all the difference. The color of the plant is Ralph Lauren's Bleu durango from the Vintage Masters collection. VM144 Mr. Marlow. The invoice for our services will be in the mail as soon as we get your mailing address.
