So, I stumbled across the graphic below at OKGazette.com. Apparently, it is an ad/link that promotes the newspaper’s free online classified section.
Unless you’re really naive, you may have noticed that The Oklahoma Gazette decided to use an image of an old farmer holding a big white “For Sale” sign in front of a questionable looking crop to promote it’s free online classifieds. Now…I’m not sure if the Gazette’s Web Developer has a great sense of humor (and a lot of pot for sale), or if this was just another passive aggressive attempt by the staff to show the people at Look at OKC the stuff they continue to get away with, but what I do know is this:
If the Gazette is supposed to be cool and alternative, couldn’t they at least use modern stock photography?
Anyway, because I’m so handsome, I’m not going to bother answering that philosophical question. Instead, I’ll just point you the picture of the farmer turned realtor at ClipArt.com. I’ll even give you a link to the image collection that the picture came from. If you’re lazy and don’t feel like going to ClipArt.com, I posted some of the better ones–along with some local businesses and the people who could possible use them–after the jump. And I did this because I’m handsome.

Okay, I’ll admit. A few of the pictures above didn’t come from ClipArt.com, but they did come from the Internet. That’s close enough for us.
haha you are sick.
and handsome. but sick overrides that.
There are one too many black kids in that clip art for it to represent Edmond Public Schools.
To be fair, that deale… err… farmer is REMOVING the “For Sale” sign because OKG classifieds quickly found him a buyer.
and that questionable looking crop is actually corn.
The farmer looks just like a LEGO man.
And those kids don’t represent Edmond; if they did the bikes would have BMW logos on the front and the girls would have fake tits.
Edmond Public School should have Hummers and BMWs not bikes.
I don’t know Joe…that looks awfully like a forward “planting” move to me…
wonder if the guy in the petroleum club’s picture got lucky with the woman? did his toupee stay on during his moment of passion?
The DHS photo is pretty twisted. I find it sad that even living in a State like Oklahoma you don’t recognize corn growing - maybe he’s selling it to make into an alternative fuel…(in your case, methane)
Is it actually growing?
A local air conditioning company (Advanced Air?) uses this picture on their vans.

Doh. Guess an ‘img src’ tag doesn’t work in comments.

Dude, that’s CORN. I don’t know what’s more incredible: the fact that you don’t know what corn looks like, or the fact that you don’t know what marijuana looks like.
I’ll admit the picture is a bit dark, but it’s not so dark that one can’t see that’s corn he’s got behind him.
This corn you speak of… can you get high on it?
Sure, Joe, but it burns like hell going down and leaves you wanting a new liver. Maybe the Gazette Classifieds can help with that.
You don’t smoke the corn. You smoke the corn silk.
Who cares about The Gazette? We want more WIMGO!!!!
