Plant Rape. It's Out There.

Today I was looking at a tree, and I remembered a story I read in the 4th grade. It was about "plant hybrids" and told how the farmer in the story cut a branch off of one tree, cut a notch in another kind of tree, and taped them together, so he could create a third kind of tree. Hey! What's another word for when two plants who: a) don't even know each other, b) may not even be attracted to one another or, c) don't have any desire to have sex, let alone procreate, are forced to do so?

Plant rape.

That's right, I said it. And not just regular plant rape either. We're talking interspecies plant rape, and that's HARDCORE, people.

Of course, there are people out there who will tell you it's called something else. Something that is beneficial to humans, has gone on for thousands of years and acceptable to society. They call it "plant hybridization" (yes, it's a word. I looked it up). There are even groups on the internet, dedicated to plant rape. That's plain sick. I mean, I just got done throwing up, that's how sick it is. These people TAKE PICTURES of plant rape, and post them on the internet!!

Here. Here's a picture I found for you. It's one of the MONSTERS they've bred. It's like a venus flytrap...TIMES TEN THOUSAND!

Pretty scary stuff. Fo' Shizzle.

STILL don't believe me? Here's a definition of "plant hybridization" I found on the internet:

Definition: Hybrid plants are plants produced by impregnating the pistil of one species with the pollen of another. (eewwww!).

Also Known As: hybridized plants (interSPECIES monstrosities).

Common Misspellings: high bred plants (dress it up all you want, Online Dictionary. I'm still not buying it.)

Guess what term you won't find defined on the internet?

That's right. Plant rape.

 Go ahead, look it up. I'll wait.

You didn't find it, did you?

Here is a picture of Gregor Mendel, the father of Plant Rape:

I don't really know where I'm going with this post, except to make all of you more aware that the next time you eat a peacotum, a nectacotum or a tangelo, just remember...THEY SAID NO!
