The Ming Pao always comes with an extra advertisement in a separate tab. This one says

The scent of ramen is deep and shocking
Don't just stand there
Housewives United!

Are you a man or are you a tumor?
Come on, you filthy longshoreman
Do you think I'm posing for pictures?
Come in and have coffee
It's on me

Let's participate in California culture
Three's company, too

Please attend the Roche Health Seminar

Clicking on the picture http://www.mingpaohealth.com/htm/seminar/seminar64.htm one gets the same picture, with some copy and an eForm.

This is the year of the orgasm
Confucius says that Hong Kong women look like apartment chieftains
My ex-husband is at his tanning bed emporium herding cows into 5-year purchase plans

Are my breasts not correctly aligned?
Do I look like I want to fight?
I need sex energy to prevent breast cancer!

Please take a minute to participate in our survey.

Translator's note: Try substituting "freshly baked bread" for "the scent of ramen".

Please see the next post for a disclaimer, I am not on drugs. Without the pleasing subexts written in by the well-paid advertising executives, staring at an ad like this in the subway during a long commute could result in boredom, distraction and mild narcolepsy. You should always remember to bring a book anyway.



To continuing mining today's Ming Pao, one clicks to see the New York edition of the paper. Picture an executive marching into an office:

I have only one point to make, you self-loathing office furniture!
Sell stock,
Get high,
and go home to your wives or husbands after work

The economy says we should go to the corporate strip club
Those chicks don't say no

Your department of self-esteem
Recommends that you focus on the financial architecture
And leave your 5-fingered girlfriend at home

Please consider the Ming Pao Investor Club.

The Vancouver and San Francisco edition banner ad of today says:

It takes a big hawser to anchor a Malacca-rated oil tanker
And it takes an army of marriage-minded Macanese women to dislodge the world's apathy

North and south will unite in 2008

They will wander in the peach garden and soon they will be changing diapers
Celebrate the Beijing Olympics
