Hello Kitty for Men
God no! Hello Kitty will soon be appearing on products targeting young men. From Yahoo News:
"We think Hello Kitty is accepted by young men as a design statement in fashion," he (Sanrio company spokesman) said.Young men? Hmm. I think he meant to say ONLY young crazy Japanese men.
The feline for-men products will go on sale in Japan next month, and will be sold soon in the U.S. and other Asian nations, according to Sanrio.
The usual bubble-headed shape of Hello Kitty was slightly changed for a more rugged, cool look to appeal to men in their teens and early 20s.
..."Young men these days grew up with character goods," said Tohmatsu. "That generation feels no embarrassment about wearing Hello Kitty."

Singapore Escort Ads on Yellow Pages
According to Gerrie Lim, the author of Invisible Trade, a book about high class sex for sale in Singapore, "people generally have this perception that Singapore is a squeaky clean, prim and proper kind of place so they tend to be very surprised when they find out that there is a thriving escort industry here."
So I flipped the Yellow Pages recently and surprise, surprise, found lots of huge colourful ads by escort agencies here. I took some pics and here they are. Oh boy, the industry is thriving alright.

I couldn't help but wonder after looking at these ads. Do these companies use the same illustrator to draw the girls? LOL.

Zouk's Do-It-Yourself Mistletoe
Last week, I blogged about Zouk's flyer making a good Christmas gift wrapper. This week's Zouk mailer comes with a do-it-yourself mistletoe!

The envelope with the words "Your Disco Loves You" on the front and the instructions to assemble the mistletoe at the back.


Inside the envelope are the Parts A and B die-cut pieces that you have to detach and then assemble both parts with the strings provided.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Here's the mistletoe after assembly.

Ain't it pretty? Merry Kissmas!

My new baby has arrived!
On Thursday night, the lovely people from LG delivered to me their new 42 inch LCD HD TV as part of their Blogger Review Program. This is my second time doing a blogging assignment for LG. The first was for the beautiful LG Shine mobile phone. That's my new baby (pic above) in its box. I expected it to be big but never thought it would be this big. It's a giant alright. Yesterday evening, one of their guys finally showed up to set it up and briefed me about its features, etc. My first impression: WOW! Will post more pics, videos and reviews later.

Star Trek Bluetooth Communicator
I think this is a great gift for any Trekkie - a Star Trek Bluetooth Communicator, based on the Communicator used in the original series. From eBay:
This Comm will pair with any cell phone that is Bluetooth capable! Once paired you can stick your cell in your pocket then send, receive and make calls using your Comm just like Kirk and the boys! Imagine the response you'll get pulling this bad boy out at the next convention! It even accepts voice commands!
This is a highly modified STTE Comm and is very similar to the Master Replicas, it is nearly identical and is made in China, probably at the same plant the MRs were, with the same molds. In fact, you can interchange most parts between them. The STTE Comms are physically identical to the MR but basically were still just a toy So, Working with a Bluetooth electronics company in China, I got some custom electronics that with some serious mods, I make fit inside and operate with all the Comms original lights and buttons!

Japanese stops humpback whale hunt
I've been complaining to friends and as many people as I can, about the cruelty of the Japanese whale hunts. Japan has been killing whales in the name of science (ya right!) and this year it will kill 1,000 whales including for the first time the humpback whales, but it has surprisingly announced that it will spare the humpbacks. From BBC:
Nobutaka Machimura said the humpback hunt would not go ahead - although the fleet will still hunt about 1,000 other whales in the area.Now if only they stop hunting all types of whales. The killing of endangered intelligent whales is barbaric and inhumane and it must stop.
The BBC's Chris Hogg, in Tokyo, says Japan is now unlikely to chase the humpbacks for at least a year.
The move comes after pressure from the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
Japan is regularly condemned for its annual whaling missions.
But this year's Antarctic expedition was particularly controversial because, in addition to 935 minke whales and 50 fin whales, the fleet intended to kill up to 50 humpbacks.
It was the first time Japan had targeted the humpbacks since a moratorium was introduced in the mid-1960s - when the species had been hunted almost to extinction.

Santa refuses to wear pillow under his suit
Old dude who dresses up as Santa Claus in a shopping mall in Edinburgh refuses to wear a pillow under his suit because he believes it promotes child obesity. Yay! Santa 1 Obesity 0. From BBC:
"The parents and kids have been asking why I'm so thin and I say 'Santa's been on a diet' and everyone is in agreement that it is a good idea.
"I have always eaten healthily and have run a healthy eating course in the past. I gave up cola years ago when I saw what it did to a penny.
"I hope other Santas across the country follow suit so that parents start taking responsibility for their children's diets."
