No, I'm not referring to animals that perform stunts, road bullies having their photos pasted all over the net or someone in the limelight for making extremist comments.
They are so hot that major publishing medias like BBC and Times even carry articles about them.
In fact, they became famous all because of the super typhoon Souledor.
Yes, if you've guessed correctly.
They are a pair of mailboxes in Taipei’s Zhongshan district.
What were previously the standard, expected and easily missed mailboxes are now tilted due to the strong wind.
And thanks to the power of social media, these two mailboxes quickly became a tourist attraction after people began posting the photographs online.
The mailboxes are so hot now that there's queue stand and people are seen queuing to take photos with them.
But isn't a tilted mailbox still a mailbox? Why so many people are infatuated with them?
If the mailboxes were not tilted by the strong wind, would people be still as fascinated with them as all the other mailboxes? Would people have bothered to notice them when they walk by? Would they even take a photo with them?
Suddenly the tilted mailboxes become an attraction that's fun to take photo with. People can photograph themselves with the mailboxes in any poses that they like and imagine. You can pretend to be carrying the mail box like the man in cap. You can tilt your head like the tilted mailboxes, You can pretend to be trying to push the mailbox back to it's original position. It's all up to your imagination.
You can also look weird, astonished, happy, cute, stressed, worried, funny or tired to go along with your pose to create the kind of scene you want.
These two mailboxes are now known as "Little Red" and "Little Green." There's even plan to preserve the boxes in their current state to commemorate the storm and turn them into a tourist attraction itself with a plaque and souvenirs such as t-shirts and other tie-in paraphernalia.
There's no doubt that this will become one of the must visit place for tourists to take a whimsical photo.
And what about all the other hundreds of mailboxes scattered all over the city?
Would you take photograph of them so that you can take the tilted ones later?
