I have been at a loss on what to do with the linked image below. Part of playing the glib and sarcastic character in which I write on this blog is that I am not supposed to be shocked by anything. I might find something mildly disgusting, crass or vulgar and unfunny, but I hardly ever see anything that makes me think "Oh my God that's horrible."
It's a banner from China, and don't bother looking if you don't read Chinese. I'm sure as hell not going to translate it.

Is it similar to this thing?
Yes, but somehow worse.
I would agree, in one sense, as your example is so "Smokey Says Fight Forest Fires" style instead of a commercial billboard...of course Taichung has those billboards for the Hernia specialist doctor.
He's No. 2 in the world behind a researcher in Canada for number of hernias operated on.
Of course, he diagnosed my pulled muscle as a hernia and wanted to operate the next day. A second opinion advised muscle relaxants and extreme puzzlement at the first doctor's diagnosis.
