SHOE-IN PATRIOTISM: We salute anyone displaying the Jalur Gemilang in any configuration possible, but a flag comprising colour-coded slippers? The Giant Hypermarket in Plentong, Johor, did just that to promote its shoes department, but we wonder about its tastefulness. — MMS picture by KID
	SIMPLE AND SUBTLE: While there are violent protests elsewhere over the Jyllands-Posten publication of the offensive Prophet Muhammad caricatures, Malaysia’s reaction is as it has always been: Non-violent and subtle, as this sign in a Kuala Lumpur mini-mart reflects. — MMS picture by Kmran
	NOT ON YOUR ACADEMIC LIFE: We are certain the good tutor meant GOOD, not GOOR, when he or she nailed this ad on a tree in Subang Jaya, but the guarantee clearly applies to all subjects but spelling. — MMS picture by Red Baron
	FIRE HYDRANT FARCE 2: Just as it cannot get any respect, the fire hydrant’s mandatory buffer is grossly ignored. It’s bad enough for a vehicle to illegally park near the hydrant but it’s asinine for this Hang Tuah Mall food stall in Malacca to serve around it. Let’s see what happens in a fire. — MMS picture by Ariba801
	DIGITAL DAFFINESS: The signboard across the LDP highway towards Kepong states “comfortable passage”. But with traffic exasperatingly grinding to a snail’s crawl, whoever keyed in this message had a farcical sense of humour, seething motorists would attest. — MMS picture by Mavik
