Policy address TVC draws parodies

The new TV commercial promoting chief executive CY Leung's maiden policy address has made a blast on local forums.The commercial features Hong Kong people going about in their daily life, but all their faces were replaced by emoticons.Netizens wrote on discussion forums that they were unsure what message the government was trying to get across while others created parodies of the commercial, including one that replaced the emoticons with the smirking faces of former chief executive hopeful Henry Tang.A spokesperson of the Information Services Department told Ming Pao the TV commercial aimed to draw attention, which it had, but the government could not predict if the response would be positive or negative.The commercial has been running on TV and online to raise awareness of CY Leung's first policy address which will be delivered next Wednesday.
