The Bus Uncle Saga Continues…
Posted on by Jason Li
The Bus Uncle is still very much alive in the minds of the Hong Kong media. EastSouthWestNorth speaks of several incidents:
- Oriental Sunday magazine cover: “Bus Uncle Calls Whores.” [ESWN link]
- Bus Uncle gets beat up by four at a restaurant. [ESWN link]
- The Wall Street Journal rants about it. [via ESWN]
- Bus Uncle is parodied for a World Cup commercial. [ESWN link]
And according to the WSJ:
“The government plans to use Bus Uncle as a ‘teaching example’ for a Web site on moral and civic education where the incident can be discussed ‘from multiple perspectives,’ says Cheung Wing-hung, the chief curriculum-development officer for the city’s Education and Manpower Bureau.”
