Singapore's unbelievably low birthrates have inspired National Night, a campaign to encourage Singaporean couples to let their patriotism explode on August 9.
Miles Golland's insight:
Singapore’s “unbelievably low birthrates” have inspired “National Night,” a campaign to encourage Singaporean couples to “let their patriotism explode” on August 9. Presented by Mentos in partnership with the Singaporean government, National Night is meant to help Singaporeans “give birth to a nation” and to give “our country to population spurt it so desperately needs.” (Literature on National Night, however, is careful to note that this exhortation extends only to “financially secure adults in stable, committed long-term relationships.”) Delete the scoop?
