If you enjoyed the previous link, take a look at Harmon Leon

This has a collection of some great undercover work, by a very funny Sacramento writer - Harman Leon. One of my favorites: How to find a Russian bride (named Boris)
Need I add any more to the title? Hilarious write-up of the Russian mail-order bride phenomenon.

Here's another interesting sign from the LA Zoo. Now is it me, or does the sign for the aviary suggest one of two things: either people are getting clubbed over their heads, or there's a saluting nazi in the audience. Not sure which one is worse... 

Went to the Los Angeles Zoo today. Among the various animals suffering in the 90-degree heat, saw this curious sign. Apparently, money is a little tight, and apparently Target is a sponsor of at least one exhibit. Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present - the Target Leopard! Coming to your local store, in a lovely bedding ensemble... 

When you need just one more tent...

Got a call from Survival Insurance Survival's Hollywood Office - note the phone #. What caught my attention was that I heard Spanish through the answering machine. Caller ID showed Unknown Name and 323-957-1049. Picked up the phone, and the following exchange took place:
Why are you calling me?
(startled) To let you know about Survival Insurance's great rates...
How did you get me name?
We are just dialing people from the directory.
You mean you are going through the yellow pages, and dialing people at random?
Yes....
You didn't buy a list of leads?
No...
Pretty bad marketing, if I may say so. Why did you speak Spanish?
Leon is a spanish name, so I assumed...
Bad assumption. Besides, Survival has some of the worst rates. CLICK!

Go to Survival website, see this little gem of a link on the "Contact Us" page:

It seems Survival Insurance are giving away L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology) books.
Bad Survival!!!! Let's see: blatantly violating Do-Not Call Act (federal law), by both hiding Caller ID, and calling numbers on the list; being part of an evil cult; and assuming that all people in Los Angeles are Latinos. I have no problem with Latinos (used to date one myself), but three strikes, and you are out.
