Scared of Plants? Don't Read this...

In this day and age we, as Americans, are used to hearing about major threats to our well being everyday in the media. Everything from Terrorism, Global Warming, and even Obesity are supposedly plaguing the nation. But there is a bigger issue at hand, an invasion of GLOBAL proportions, that needs to be addressed...PLANTS.

There are about 350,000 species of plants on this planet we call earth. Of those, there are about 625 IDENTIFIED species that are considered to be carnivorous. Keep in mind this just means that there are still hundreds of thousands of species that are still in limbo, "sleeping" if you will, waiting for the official order to attack. It sounds crazy, but they are just waiting to take back the planet.

Recently there has been an underground effort* to educate the world on the many dangers that plants pose to human kind. Sure they seem motionless and docile, but I have two bits of video that prove otherwise. This organization has funded a major motion picture and a few television spots to get the word out.

The first would be "warning," funded by the anti-plant organization*, The Ruins, is about a group of college teens that run into some unforeseen trouble while visiting a set of ancient ruins. Their seemingly harmless Mexican trip turns deadly when local villagers refuse to let them leave the eroded temple. Turns out...the Pyramid is really covered with killer, flesh-eating plants.


This movie is actually pretty good. Despite the cheesiness of the trailer, I can honestly say that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend it. In fact, here is a little fun you can have with this. Take a date and somehow sneak a small twig in with you and while in the theater tickle the back of her neck with it. Guaranteed shriek!! I will admit that I will never look at a plant the same way again after seeing The Ruins. I do have a bit of a plant complex now, so bad in fact, that I find myself suffering from mass paranoia whenever a plant is in the vicinity. And it wasn't until recently that this TV spot gave me a solution to my problem...thank you Christopher Walken.

Damn your Googly Eyes!!*The Anti-Plant organization is completely made up. Just thought you would like to know...just wanted to present these two plant-themed items in a creative matter.
