Big Brother watching


What is the use of putting survellence cameras in lifts? Okay i get the security part, but having a monitor? I do not get it. It is like making everyone a peeping tom legally.

This is a picture taken when i was on my piano lesson at Nancy's house. The town council had it for a couple of weeks already. The monitor show the views of 3 lifts from time to time and i do not get it why you need a monitor outside the lift. it is just too much already, i feel my privacy is been intruded by this.

TAFEP Recent Advertisment

The picture above is the advertisment put up by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices. (TAFEP)

One of the 5 principles that TAFEP advocates includes: "Recruit and select employees on the basis of merit, such as skills, experience and ability, regardless of age, race, gender, religion or family status. "

I was reading the advertisement and was amused by the human formation of the word "skill". Notice the letter "K", which was formed by 2 man butt touch each other. Seems like TAFEP should also include in their 5 principles, regardless of their sexual orientation as well.

Not that i support the gay right movement, but just that i find this advertisement amusing and i wondered how does the 2 men felt when they are forming the letter K. Also, if the advertiser had no intention of promoting gay rights, then he (or she) should be more sensitive in forming the letter K since their more ways to form than this.
