The scientists are at it again, conducting horrible experiments on the cutest, sweetest Easter treat: Peeps.
What happens when you put a Peep in a vacuum? How does a Peep react to microwave radiation and temperature extremes? These quacks even justify their research by claiming that Peeps have no hearts.
Have they no souls?
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Ha! Glad you are horrified! I found that page years ago at work. It entertained a big group of writers for at least an hour. Per day. For weeks. :-) I still get a kick out of it. This page is almost as amusing (but not Easter related):
