A junk mail. Such a dark humor. It would be a hilarious scene if it happens...
"WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Don't forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a
sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He
must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time,
all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked
to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for
one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.
All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think it's okay
to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all
American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold
6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The
American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and
applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God bless America!
Also, it is your patriotic duty to pass this on. If you don't send this
to at least 5 people, you're a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and
are in the position of posing as a national threat."

This talented Chinese artist has taken blending in to a whole new level in these incredible photographs. These photographs depict a man who paints himself in such a way that he appears to blend into the background to such an extent that he is almost invisible.
Liu Bolin - "The invisible man" was born in Shandong, China in the year 1973. In 1995 Liu Bolin completed his graduation from Shandong Art College and in 2001 he earned a MFA degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
But these photos isn’t just in spying the artist, but in the visual thrill produced by the deftly conjured effect of his spooky gossamer presence; he looks less a figure covered in paint than a ghost, defined by shadow. Liu has said that his work is a statement on the artist’s outsider status in modern society, and the government’s attitude in his native country (Chinese authorities shut down his studio in Beijing in 2005). But simply as a display of wit, precision and surreal effect, they’re worthy of a quick look. But not too quickly, you might not want to miss the thoughts he brought to you.
