Taxi TV
As though it weren't annoying enough to have TVs blaring at us on trains and buses, some Hong Kong taxis are now being fitted with screens to blast rear-seat passengers with advertisements.
The saving grace is that unlike other modes of transport, passengers can nuke the sound. But in the never-ending battle to shove products into the faces of consumers, marketers will find a way to work around this problem. The next thing you know entire skyscraper faces will be converted into Jumbotrons.
Hong Kong is slowly becoming more and more like Ridley Scott's vision of Los Angeles in Blade Runner.
