Power-ups for neighborhood trees

This may be the next big thing in garden design. Or it could be the next big thing on the front page of your local
paper. A Mario fanatic has posted a How-To article titled, "How to Make Your Own Totally Sweet Mario Question Blocks
and Put Them Up Around Town." The Question Blocks are pretty snazzy, and should immediately set off Homeland Security
alarms around the country, ensuring a place for Power-Ups in the annals of American history.
I think the blocks in the pic above are just a tad bit out of reach.

Love it! There's always someone willing to go that bit further, I'm sure that homeland security isn't looking for the fabled 'Magic Mushroom'. Power to the people.

Wow, this is quite possibly the best random art ever.

From the web page -- "He [his idiot 'artist' friend] believes that our public spaces (sidewalks, parks, etc) have been taken over by ads, and so he battles this creeping loss of public spaces by placing his art in similar situations."
Uhhh... Fighting advertising in public spaces by putting up a commonly recognized symbol from a well known commercial product?
Next up, how to make your anti-advertising statement by placing giant Coke (tm) bottles all over town...

I am a big boring lame-o with nothing to contribute but circular logic and rigid whining. Wahh, wahh.
You can tell I'm me because I disagree without legitimate cause.
