25 Bizarre Anonymous Innovations

From Secret Confessions to Disguised Dates

— March 22, 2009 — Lifestyle
It's an easy world in which to remain anonymous. Online, there are anonymous message boards, anonymous confession sites and even sites where you can rant about your workplace--anonymously, of course. In the physical world, there are crime-fighting ad campaigns to encourage anonymous tips, creepy full-face masks to wear out and even a giant screen that lets you embrace a stranger.

Check out these creepy, clever and comical anonymous innovations and more below.

Implications - My favorite among these quirky anonymity innovations has got to be the pixelated masks, which lets users print out their face as cubed portraits that they got to wear and imagine they're 8-bit Nintendo characters.
