At first glance, this ads is quite eye-catching. After a second thought, there is something with this poster. It seems that this tourist destination is a place that makes people unfilial. I interpreted the undertone of this ads as that this place is an immoral or evil place which makes people evil. Obviously, the advertiser wants to make its poster eye-catching; while, this act is how stupid. Frankly speaking, once I read such an advertisement, I will assurly not go to such a place, regardless how picturesque the destination is. What do you think of this ads? Will you go to such a place after reading the poster?

If I was given a chance, I would go there to see whether I will miss my parents or not. If not, the advertiser should be responsible for his or her advertisement. Cheating tourists will make him or ner suffer.

Do you remember as a child as you used to play and have so much fun? that you forgot about your parents and their rules. I see no evil, just a game of words, and an eye catcher that is all.

I think the ads came from a Chinese litarary quotation of '乐不思蜀', which means that it is such of fun that you even don't miss our hometown. The quotation itself really has a derogatory meaning.
This ads also will not lure me to this place. We all treasure our family and homeland much at the bottom of our heart, no matter what happiness the others bring us. So the ads designer is just not wise to find such a subject for comparation.
