THE NEW TOURISM AMBASSADOR IN JAPAN IS...

Last Monday, the tourism ministry in Japan announced the appointment of its new goodwill ambassador to represent the country in China and Hong Kong. Out of the approximately 127,433,494 humans in Japan, and after what I’m sure was very careful consideration, they gave the tourism ambassador position to… HELLO KITTY!

Now consider this, fellow felines… of all those millions of humans in Japan, NOT ONE was deemed capable enough to handle the intense pressure and skull-numbing demands of being a goodwill ambassador for tourism. So once again, as has happened so many times throughout the course of human history, a cat has ridden to the rescue! Sure Hello Kitty is an imaginary cat with no mouth, but she’s a cat just the same.

This proves one very simple point: When it comes to important political appointments, such as goodwill tourism ambassador, cats are far superior to humans. Even a cat that has no mouth and can’t eat sushi, poor thing!

CATS SUPPORT TIBET, BUT...




On Monday in San Francisco, to protest China's human rights record in advance of today's Olympic torch relay in the city, three activists scaled the Golden Gate Bridge and unfurled a "Free Tibet" banner. As a fair-minded cat, I too abhor China's religious and political persecution in Tibet... but, more importantly (from a cat's perspective, of course), this gravity-defying protest is yet one more example of why cats are smarter than humans. Sure, we cats get ourselves into scary predicaments from time to time, but we would NEVER climb up a bridge hundreds of feet over a body of water. Think how wet you would get if you fell!
