The above poster which has appeared on trains recently reads "Are you a dangerous young person". My reading skills being rather poor I assumed it was berating young people for looking scary to older people but actually it is a campaign to encourage people to vote. Pointing out that while 76 per cent of 60 year olds vote, only 36 per cent of 20 year olds bother. Overall only 58 per cent of the population vote. "Don't you think this figure is a little dangerous?" the advert adds. As Aso's outdated and incompetent government shows, it's really time for young people in Japan to get interested in politics.

Dangerous voting habits

I often seen pictures of this kind of announcement (in the internet) and this is not the worst one. What i mean, is sometimes what they try to explain with the pictures has nothing to do with the text/slog aside. This is just one particular case among others. I think they don't hire the proper professional person to do this kind of announcement, a graphic designer that is. I bet they use some secretary with poor (to none) knowledge in graphic design to come up with something a bit more creative.
