A t-shirt for sale in Maine. This could be forgiven
in HK (almost) as the owner might not speak English
well enough to get the pun (a term I use here in the
technical sense only). But for a native speaker to
wear this, even ironically, is the stuff of
nightmares. That said, if you are going to have this
on your shirt, having it spoken by a debonaire cat
with a rakishly curled whisker mustache and sparkly
tophat is better than nothing... actually it’s not.

O'Kitty
From an iPhone shop in Causeway Bay. I was initially
drawn to the hyper-bling assortment of iPhone covers;
a few unique offerings sprinkled in with the usual
hello kitty, disney and playboy knockoffs. Somehow I
don’t think the bling ‘apple’ logo is legitimate
either...
Anyway what really struck me was the bling coated bobble-head Mr. Bean in the lower left corner. Should he now be referred to as Mr. Blean? Bleang? Or is that last one simply too hard to pronounce? Looks like he’s come into some serious money recently, and has acquired up some proper swag, including a rakish nose stud, and what appear to be bling contacts...
