Double Ducks to Double Your Pleasure

The rubber duck has returned 10 years later... with a friend

Remember in 2013 when a giant yellow rubber duck appeared in Hong Kong's harbour? It cheered people up as they competed to take selfies with the cute duck as it bobbed in Victoria Harbour next to the Harbour City Shopping Mall. 

Ten years later it's back -- with its friend or clone? 

It reminds me of the Double Mint gum commercial where identical twin attractive women with white terriers in hand walk along a boardwalk as the singer in the background sings, "A double pleasure is waiting for you... with Double Mint gum".

The two ducks being towed to Admiralty

So Hong Kong is doubling its pleasure with a second duck?

Designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, the ducks are inflated and ready to be towed into Victoria Harbour, though their exact locations have yet to be revealed.

While they're cute, this stunt has been done before! 

And how much is this going to cost? It's hardly original. 

Just shows the government is more than happy to frivolously spend taxpayer money on recycling old ideas.

Perhaps it's a bid to lure people away from Victoria Park next week as June 4 will mark the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Back in 2013 when the duck thrilled HKers

The whole area where the candlelight vigil would be has been booked by such pro-establishment groups as the Hong Kong Federation of Fujian Association, Federation of Hong Kong Guangdong Community, and Federation of Hong Kong Guangxi Community Organisation among others from June 3-5 -- to avoid publicising the event using the numbers 6 and 4.

So yes folks, double your pleasure by hanging out with two massive inflatable ducks!
