website search: cell tower tree site

October 8, 2005 12:38 PM

website search: I am looking for a site of cell phone towers camouflaged as trees.

This is a site I came across a year or two ago. It's solely made up of cell phone tower tree pictures (might have been a photoblog. Though I think this was before photoblogs). My googling has only come up with articles on specific cell phone trees and not the site I'm looking for (which BTW was pretty amusing).

Please help me find it!

Or maybe any one of the four or so sites that come up when you google for "cell phone towers camouflaged as trees"? I mean, really: you'd have answered your own question if you'd just bothered to ask google.

Here.

I didn't know anything about this. Interesting.

found it! - it's this - http://fraudfrond.com.

thanks guys!

oh and five fresh fish, the thing about helping with a snide attitude, don't be surprised if recipients aren't grateful. god forgive me I somehow managed to miss the site on the searches I did. If you find that so annoying, you really don't have to help. I know I'd prefer no help than an answer with that attitude.

Yeah, but did his google search lead you to your site?

And people are snide because when you clutter up askme with an easily googleable question, you knock off someone else's question. I mean, for pete's sake, the site you wanted is the third hit for "cell phone tower trees."

Yah, well mirileh, the thing about AskMe is that daily posts are now flowing off the front page because too many people are too damned lazy to do even a rudimentary Google search before coming over here to post their question. The exact text of your question brought up the answers in Google for fuck's sake!

You should be embarassed that your laziness and lack of thought has pushed others' good questions off the page.

FraudFrond, by the way, is the fifth link on google using the words in YOUR question.

And for that, you pushed someone's real question off the page. How freakin' rude is that, eh?

actually i did google the question before asking (as always). didn't come up with anything because i used "cell phone antenna" instead of "cell tower" (they're called antennas where i live). it was only when phrasing the question for metafilter i noticed the difference in terms.

i'm sorry if my googling is not as perfect as yours, five fresh fish and CunningLinguist. I hope your googling will be at my level when doing it in a second language.
