The Oddness continues

No one likes odd. Odd stands out (duuh!) and it makes the rest of us feel uncomfortable. Apple computers used the same niche to differentiate itself, claiming that Apple computeres are for ‘the square pegs in round holes’. Celebrating oddity - or uniqueness - is a quality not many of us possess. Tare Zameen Parr, the great Indian movie by Amir Khan, also focuses on this oddity that needs to be taken care of properly.
Then there is oddity that will make a terrorist out of you. Or so thinks the London’ administration. I have no doubts that survelance of the following nature will do more harm than good.

A filmmaker in London writes:

Being a filmmaker, I’m constantly taking pictures of odd things. I know my filmmaker mates do the same thing. Now, I’ll be wondering if I look odd…I don’t want to be spying on my neighbor because they all look a bit odd. How the hell am I supposed to know what’s really odd?
