Conrad has just reminded me of some other great moments in Hong Kong Government advertising. The posters.

There are the run-of-the-mill ones like the reminder to avoid dengue fever (thanks for that - if they hadn't have reminded me I would have asked all the mosquitoes to bite) or for voter registration for a body that cannot actually do anything. But there was one where an elderly man was sitting in his leather chair with his concerned younger woman by his side, comforting him. An advertisement for elderly care? Encouraging volunteers? Being nice to old folks? No. The tag line was something like "Check up on your relatives regularly to make sure they're not dead."

I am not making this up. I encourage others to provide their most memorable Government ads. There's been some great ones. It's a darn site better investment than some others the Government has made recently.
