In the Future, Everything is Cute

Here are a few of the new "concept" cars unveiled by Nissan, Honda, and Toyota at the Tokyo Auto Show earlier this month. The Japanese are big on cute, which they call "kawaii." (Hello Kitty is practically a religion in Japan.) It's such a huge part of their culture that you'll even see burly construction workers walking around with cute little anime characters dangling from their cell phones.








Also, you might want to check out these photos of the world's smallest cars. They're far more interesting than you'd think!

I love the first one!!! Lemme guess, that was the Toyota one, right? Toyotas are cute...

Anyway, how long should our stories be???

Mine is pretty creepy...

I think it's a Nissan.

I don't know . . . make your story as long (or short) as you'd like. Now I'm REALLY intrigued. I can't wait to read your creepy tale!

As for the jokes about the ghost post, you really are very funny. But nothing beats the moth-butt comment!
