1. Response: This is a supplemental response to our previous comment 1 dated October 31, 2011. We believe we do not meet the definition of a "Shell Company" as outlined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. We believe we should not be deemed to have " no or nominal operations" and "no or nominal assets." Our supplemental responses are outlined below:

a) We believe the SEC does not set a threshold for "nominal assets". For the period ended on June 30, 2011, we have cash and stock subscription receivables totaled: $49,500. During the interim period ended on September 30, 2011, we have $48,360 in cash or cash equivalents. We believe our capital resource could sustained our operations for 12 months and beyond. In addition, we have received advanced deposit from advertisers.

b) We have our business plan and actual operations. Please refer to our Products and Services on Page 15 and Plan of Operation on Page 21 and elsewhere throughout the registration. In our initial stage of our operations, we have conducted fund raising activities, negotiated with printing contractors, received advanced deposits from advertisers and carried out business operations.
