Hot-button humour, my favourite Get Fuzzy rib-ticklers, and the POSB logo...

Remember the pedestrian-crossing buttons (example above) that, some months back, were found covered with "Press once can already" stickers? The authorities weren't amused though, and I do not recall anyone getting caught for the prank. So, did the same prankster strike again recently with another Singlish-laced sticker?...


There's a double entendre in this latest one too! Meanwhile, air bags for taxis have been a recent hot-button issue while the local casinos are always a contentious topic. ST's artists had some recent fun with these two subjects...

My favourite cartoon strip is Get Fuzzy...

Finally, DBS Bank has been in the news quite often of late, and it is not hunky dory. Its attempt to snag Indonesia's Bank Danamon seems mired now. It reminds me of DBS Bank's unpopular takeover of POSBank in 1998. One wag even noticed then that POSBank's fate was pre-ordained. Why so? With some imagination, the POSB logo -- when looked at upside down -- resembles the letters D, B, and S!...




TalkingCock.com even came up with a spoof...
