Yeah, dude. Keep eating sugar cereal like this and you’re going to have a serious diabetes problem. You already look like you’re suffering from ADD. You (or your guardian) might want to have a doctor check that out.

Thanks (one suspects) to the South Park Character Generator, it seems that Air Arabia has been using familiar looking characters on their website. Unexpected things can happen when DIY design tools are put out there. Via MeFi

I’m glad we’re not the only ones who were amused by Uncle Gene’s Donuts in Hong Kong. Their differentiator seems to be “American”-style donuts although what they serve is a mini-donuts and a variety of dipping sauces, such as chocolate syrup. It was funny to see your own culture misinterpreted and productized in another context. Complete with cartoon mascots aplenty!

In the Hong Kong Art Museum store, we found a bunch of cute products with this funny character Matchman. I was trying to figure out which trinket to buy and bring back as an odd cultural souvenir until I stumbled across some pencil cases or stationery with what seemed to be serious religious overtones. I looked further and realize that it was a sneaky Jesus-pushing character, designed to appeal to “the kids” (and naive foreigners, I guess). I hate seeing that stuff sneaking past us, doesn’t speak well to the mission, if it’s about tricking you!

Shades of Veggie Tales!
