Society for HandHeld Hushing

There are some people, good people, who look around the world today for ways to change our lives for the better. They are the true Heros of our generation.

They saw the crisp and said:
"I know! Salt and vinegar!!"

They saw the toilet seat and said:
"Ah, let's try putting a hole in that"

More recently, some wonderful people from Coudal have secured themselves a place amongst these heroes by giving us the means to combat one of modern societies minor pests, American seminary girls on cell phones! These nice people racked their brains for months as to how to stop these self proclaimed "Very American Americans" driving us mad in shops, restaurants, busses, trains and on the street, and finally came up with quite a good idea.

As a public service, they introduced the reasonably polite SHHH, the Society for HandHeld Hushing. Available now are printable, fill-in-the-blank cards that you hand to irritating Americans, informing them that no-one in their immediate vicinity wants to hear about their lives, problems or eating disorders.

Since their creations, they have been downloaded over 850,000 times and featured in Wired News, on Australian National Radio and dozens of other places. They're available here, and I would highly recommend anyone frequently travelling to, through or in areas often populated by such annoyances to carry the cards on their person at all times.

Oh, and I'm thinking of getting them printed with the Egged logo.
