There’s an unfortunate side effect of mobile phones. And I don’t mean the “Yes, I’m on a train” conversations we overhear everyday.
Mobile phones mean that we need mobile phone masts.
These used to be ugly things that looked just like, well…mobile phone masts. But now they’re ugly things that look like, well…. mobile phone masts badly disguised as trees and stuff. It’s like an elephant hiding at the beach by wearing a pair of sunglasses.
And we go around pretending that they are actually trees.
And of course, we now have a web site entirely devoted to these bogus bushes (no political comment intended) at FraudFrond.com.
There are 130,000 cel towers in the USA alone. A whopping 25% of these are “stealth” towers — i.e. Lying Lumber — so that’s over 32,000 fake trees.
How many can you find?
Send us a pic of your favorite tower, and we’ll send you a wooden nickel! (Get the pun? I love puns you have to point out.) (Ps: The above is a lie: we won’t actually send you a wooden nickel. They’re probably really expensive.) (But we would be excited to see pics of towers. We’ll post them on * FraudFrond Spotter’s page.) And please send us any RARE finds. (Fake weeping willow?)
