Cultural Gems That Should Be in the Public Domain Today – Entertainment – The Atlantic Wire

The night before Earth Day
Since the picture was taken with my underfeatured Motorola cellphone (i.e. not good with night shots), here’s what the message said:

TRY THE REVOLUTIONARY,
USER-FRIENDLY, POWER-FREE
INFORMATION RETRIEVAL UNIT
PORTABLE, NO BATTERIES, CORDLESS
EASY ON THE EYES & ON THE BUDGET …
A BOOK!
