"Cuz it feels good!"

So, I was wondering around the internet and I stumbled upon this website http://justbenice.com/ I was drawn in by the cute shirts and fun bumper stickers. Eventually I found the bio of the founder, George Mason, and discovered what this is all about. Apparently, he is trying to send out good vibes to people, one t-shirt at a time. His slogan is simple and easy to remember—“Just Be Nice”.

This is totally one of those ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ moments! If I had a stack of those stickers, I could just stick one to all the cranky people who crossed my path! Of course, there’s the potential to run into a cranky-pants who didn’t have a sense of humor, but even so the imagine the possibilities! (And it would be funny to see a bunch of sour-pusses walking around with a “Just Be Nice” stickers stuck to their forehead!)

I guess I was on the right track when last year’s cheerleading shirts asked people to “Find their Perky Place”, but I bet some people didn’t even know they had a “perky place” much less the drive to follow the directions on the back of the shirt stating that if they couldn’t find their own perky place, to use mine. “Just Be Nice” is definitely more concise.

Will this catch on? How much will this one simple slogan accomplish? Dare I say even, World Peace? (Thank you Miss Congeniality) It’s just something to chew on.

And in the mean time, if a cranky-butt crosses your path, or you find that the meanie is you…don’t forget the moral of today’s story: “Just Be Nice”!
