GovHK are hosting 151 of their Public Service Announcements on YouTube. The nanny state ads range from sensible (The Harm of Abusing Ketamine), to bizarre (Common Tree Problems) to downright obscure (Window Maintenance). Below are a few favourites…
Radiation is Awesome: Quit panic buying salt – radiation is everywhere, safe and possibly delicious… (See also: Daya Bay Contingency Plan PSA)…

Stop Being Sad and Be Happy Instead: Shut up and be grateful you miserable swines…
Common Tree Problems: Your tax dollars at work in this long-winded, weird yet oddly mesmerising PSA soap opera on the subject of ‘Common Tree Problems‘…
