This blog follows me as I read Gregory L. Ulmer's book EM: Electronic Monuments and set about creating my own memorial to frogs.

Waahaaayyy!
Not such a "green" amphibian here - Toad is obsessed with his motor car. My response to my mum when she asked if I had passed my driving test was "Poop poop!" - she knew exactly what I meant, such was the power of the Toad in our family history :)
Advert - The Perfect Lawn
This grabbed my attention but I couldn't think how to make it work as an advert - Jean-Charles de Castelbajac kills Kermit the Frog (and friends)
And this makes me laugh and laugh :). Notice the "American" beer is brewed in the EU - does that make it a low-carbon "local" brewery? :)
In the end, I thought about the EverGreen advert:
I thought that perhaps a new version would incorporate advice from Freddie on having a frog (and hedgehog) friendly lawn - wouldn't look as nice as the images, a little bit more overgrown and boggy, but still beautiful - easy, peasy. Interesting how advertising encourages us to "make" something that nature can do quite well on its own, though maybe it depends on your definition of "perfect"
