A hospital distributed makeup mirrors bearing medical ads to a Changchun university, reports the New Culture View.
The mirrors were passed out at the door to the cafeteria to every student who entered from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.
The mirror was enclosed in a seven by five centimeter plastic case. On the front was the the inscription: “1,000 yuan in generous aid.” Inside: “Ultrasound visual painless abortion (超导可视无痛人流): It only takes 400 yuan and three minutes for the safest guarantee of love,” and “”Show this mirror to the hospital and you can get a female check-up, ultrasound, expert appointment, and early pregnancy check-up free of charge.” And on the back: “30% discount on all female disease treatments and surgeries (vagina tightening, maidenhead repair, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer). Medicine during treatment is free.”
The president of the hospital, a certain Mr. Wu, told the New Culture View that the hospital used to hand out leaflets, but their effect was not very good because too many people threw them away without reading them. The hospital is now using the mirrors in the hope that people will keep them longer. Wu also said that they chose the university to distribute the ads simply because university students are their core customer group.
