| China To Replace Psychotic One-Child Policy Slogans |
| 2012-02-28 |
| China is to overhaul the sometimes threatening slogans used to enforce its one-child policy, the authorities have announced. State media blamed local officials for coming up with phrases such as, "If you don't get sterilised, your house will be demolished", "Kill all your family if you don't follow the rule" and, "If you escape (sterilisation), we'll hunt you down; if you want to hang yourself, we'll give you the rope". |

| #8 Some years back, Coca-Cola's ad slogan in the US was "Coke Adds Life..." Billboards went up in China that said "Coke Brings You Back From The Dead..." Lost in translation. |

| #4 How about replacing the psychotic One Child Policy? China is destroying its next generation. Those not aborted or left at orphanages are under such tremendous pressure that more and more young couples are deciding not to have children at all. For privacy reasons, I won't go on at length about the behavior of certain "Little Emperors" of my acquaintance; but if the system doesn't change, some of these kids are going to be wet messes as adults. The government is finding that one young couple cannot support both sets of parents, surviving grandparents, and their own child. Whether the cadres will wake up and do something about it is another matter. |
