In the world of creativity, if you're not starting a fire, then what's the point? So, we've created a portal to celebrate the most revolutionary and thought-provoking ideas we're seeing in the world today. Some are ideas we've recognized from others and we're tipping our hats to, and others are ones we thought of (go figure). Either way you cut it, you won't find a dull moment here, and hopefully we've inspired you to start your own fire.

It’s no lie that there’s a Hello Kitty overload in consumer products. There’s the Hello Kitty Toaster, toilet seats, even a Hello Kitty House (check out this list of crazy Hello Kitty products that are out there). Now, Hello Kitty has conquered EVA airways.
The Taiwanese airline, EVA Air, teamed up with Sanrio to completely decorate and manifest their airplanes with Hello Kitty. This “magic jet” is covered with Hello Kitty cuteness, both inside and outside of the plane.

What do you think of this Hello Kitty manifestation? Cute, or just way too over-the-top?
