Come in/Go away Doormat


This is one of the coolest doormats I've ever seen. No, wait, that is the coolest.

So, when you come in, you read "Come in", and then when you leave, standing in the opposite direction to the rug, you read "Go away".

"Hello Kitty" a sign of Shame

Bangkok, Thailand - Thai policemen who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty," the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday.

Hello Kitty is not something "macho police officers want covering their biceps," a Thai police chief says.

Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late -- among other misdemeanors -- will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.

The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts.

"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok.

"(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.

He said police caught breaking the law will be subject the same fines and penalties as any other members of the public.

"We want to make sure that we do not condone small offenses," Pongpat said, adding that the CSD believed that getting tough on petty misdemeanors would lead to fewer cases of more serious offenses including abuse of power and mistreatment of the public by police officers.

Hello Kitty, invented by Sanrio Co. in 1974, has been popular for years with children and young women. The celebrity cat adorns everything from diamond-studded jewelry, Fender guitars and digital cameras to lunch boxes, T-shirts and stationery

Isn't it cute? Apart for extra fur and minor differences it looks just like a human kid.

London, Mar 03 : Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston says that she holds no grudges against her ex-husband Brad Pitt, and his current lover Angelina Jolie.

"I''m at ease and not just with my age. Really, I''m at peace. I''ve never felt this good about myself before. I think that shines through," Jennifer said.

As far as her work is concerned she is more than content.

"I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles," Jennifer said.
