Don’t Talk to Strangers

You know the world has gone upside down when you see conventional wisdom going down the toilet. Perhaps not conventional wisdom but common sense. In conjunction with the SKM the “Hello Campaign” has been launched, with the tag line that goes;

 Go say “HELLO!” to a random stranger, make a new friend and show the true spirit of humanity!

 

The above goes against the advice of my parents and Rick Springfield which has been hammered into my head since I was a kid. Come on lets be real, while I am not so much against the idea of being friendly but this is quite forced lah. To be honest while it might brighten up someone’s day or totally freak them out, the idea is somewhat cute in a stalker kind of way.

So the next time someone comes up to you says “Hello” just say “Hello” back only if the person is wearing a bright yellow t-shirt, as part of this campaign, if not start running the opposite direction.

M amused!
