What started as an event in Sydney, Australia is now a global movement. Last year nations all round the world heeded the call to switch-off lights against global warming. This year, let’s make it bigger. Now is another chance to make a difference. Tell your friends to take part in Earth Hour 2009 by switching off lights for an hour on March 28, 2009 Saturday from 830 PM to 930 PM. With the meeting of world leaders in December 2009 in Copenhagen this action will send a strong message on tackling climate change issues. For more information please visit the Earth Hour website here.

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila was stirred with a pre-valentine’s day drama when a man proposed to his girlfriend, a flight attendant, upon landing from South Korea. The male nurse proposed marriage to his girlfriend of two years complete with a brass band and a tarp held by the couple’s friends. The airport crowd seemed to be sympathetic when they asked the couple to kiss, while some were teary-eyed. As for the airport officials, they are quite glad for the couple to have had a memorable event in their airport.

A t-shirt that is designed to look like Dr. Peter Venkman’s jumpsuit goes for $25 at 80′s tees. In the dark, the green slime eerily glows. It is a t-shirt that simply says “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts”

The display consists of 5,000 rice cakes spread on top of a table around Chinese characters that say “Happy New Year!”

Supposedly based on Paris Hilton’s dog, Tinkerbell, this purse was made to look like a dead dog tied to a stick.

Isn’t this ad brilliant or what? With Obama’s inauguration, Veet hair removal product came up with a funny ad saying goodbye to the former US president and to unwanted hair in those private places. This ad was published in an Australian newspaper.
