Yep, Madison Avenue sure likes lighthouses.

I was in a furniture store last week and looking at bookcase units. You've probably seen those 'Box Props' - cardboard versions of VCRs, computers, and TVs designed to make the bookshelves 'loaded'.

One of the TVs had a picture of Portland Head.

OK so what is the name for this phenomina?

If they were scantily clad young ladies, it would be "Sex Sells". So for lighthouses is it "Sentinels Sell"?

Or do we need an Acronymn from Dr. Aucremann?
