This Hong Kong ‘[Clean Air Network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanoil)’ ad features famous actor Daniel Wu promoting fresh air as a consumer product.

As pollution becomes a growing problem within the city, the Hong Kong ‘Clean Air Network’ is hoping to raise awareness to keep this ad from becoming a reality. Daniel Wu convincingly sells this ‘Fresh Air’ product, guaranteeing that it will enable easy breathing, in hopes to bring this issue to the attention of the younger generation. Check out this [satirical ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-obsessed) in the featured video.
