That is funny. The same slogan is used by Taiwanese American groups to protest China's president Hu Jin Tao, with the implication that he remains a mysterious figure of dubious motives.
Excellent! And a good question too; who is Hu?
Considering he professes to have attended Oxford, he must get a chuckle if not a cringe when he sees this.
But ... and appropriate question considering the happenings during the past weeks.
The most famous Hu of all, 胡锦涛, that's who.
Jason Hu has merits? Wow, learn something new every day. :)
Right! "Who is who?"
I can't distinguish between the police, the politicians, and the gangsters in this city!
Therefore, great job (with the ad), Jason Hu!

The sign really doesn't say much about his accomplishments, other than somehow implying he built the structure at the building during the Japanese era.
The slogan should say... Hu, he Who should resign!
wtf!? i totally dont get it, good job whichever brainiac that came up with this ad, you beauty!
taichungers time to wake up and kick this son of a b out of office, cast your vote for a future in TAIWAN, to hell with china.
I have to admit, it is better than "Let Taipei Surpass Taipei".
Absolutely creepy.
So, who's on first?
I can't distinguish between the police, the politicians, and the gangsters in this city!
@MD, so true. It just sickens me to no end when I see important politicians showing up for gangster funerals and weddings.
@Thomas, re: "Let Taipei Surpass Taipei" I know, what a idiotic slogan.
Likewise, the lame "Xinbei" name for Taipei county. Is anyone really going to use that name or is it going to be like the waste of money MA spent on renaming the Taipei city streets a few years ago?
“Attending birthday celebrations of a gang leader’s father, for example, is inappropriate. Police and civil servants should behave more cautiously,” Ma said.
"behave more cautiously" ... does Ma mean, don't get caught and embarrass us?
What does he think about Hu attending a gang leaders funeral? I guess someone had to send the presidents condolences.
Ha! Ma himself went to the wedding of Yen Ching-piao's son several years ago. What a hypocrite!
In Mandarin, Su's slogan is 「台北超越台北」, which I'd translate as "Building a(n) [new and] improved Taipei."
The original probably sounds better in Mandarin than either my English translation or the more direct translation, "Let Taipei Surpass Taipei."

The answer to answer to our Jeopardy question, "Who took the presents away from Huville" is "Who is Jason Hu, Grinch and Father Anti-Christmas or the best mayor of all time?"
