347226 - (cropcircle) there is no firefox crop circle

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Marketing :: General, task)

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Firefox is lacking brand presence from high altitudes, making it difficult to gain traction with observers in passing spacecraft and hyper-intelligent space-faring races. It is well established that crop circles are used as a cost-effective channel for communicating to these audiences, and the Firefox logo -- being a circle -- seems to be a natural fit for this form of high-bandwidth consumer messaging.

STR:
1. Climb to 10,000ft
2. Look down.

Actual:
Oats.

Expected:
Firefox crop circle.

Apparently there is already some grassroots movement towards resolving this issue (see: http://www.firefoxflicks.com/web-diaries/?p=24), so I'm hopeful that this will be resolved in time for Firefox 2.

Something weird just happened... I fell asleep in Manhattan and woke up in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I can't explain it, but I think something is about to happen.

Any way to get google to get digital globe to get a new image of that area so we can view it on google earth? Now that would be sweet!

I have no idea why you got those messages, but I coppied the images that were being pulled from secure.oregonstate.edu to the local server so it shouldn't be a problem any more.

I'm not convinced. Most crops are green. That looks like an old brown carpet mill reject.

Oats are not green here in the valley.

Here is an impossible to photoshop angle taken while landing at the site.

I've always wanted to file a bug like this. But I was afraid I'd be chastised by the Bugzilla police.

Shouldn't we mark this as VERIFIED?

Comment 22

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

Yup! :)

VERIFIED.

Comment 23

[Ian Macfarlane]

I don't know, it's probably gone by now. Perhaps it needs to be reopened ;)

Comment 24

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

This hasn't been fixed in Thunderbird.

Comment 25

[Chris Wood]

The bug calls for a *Firefox* crop circle.

Comment 26

[Richard Quadling]

Thank you.

Nothing more, than just ...

Thank you.

Comment 27

[David Vo [:auscompgeek]]

This is a Firefox 2 crop circle! We need a Firefox 3.5 crop circle!

Comment 28

[Gábor Stefanik]

You mean Firefox 4? Firefox 3.5 is old as hell now.

Comment 29

[David Vo [:auscompgeek]]

In that case, we need a Firefox 7 crop circle!

Comment 30

[Tobias (:Tobbi) Markus]

Actually, we need a Firefox 15 crop circle. ;)
