The less said of mime advertising the better

If a mime falls gravely wounded in the kitchen or on the factory floor, would anybody hear? Or care? The answer to first question is no, since mimes are silent. And the likely answer to the second makes one wonder why the Worker Compensation Board of Nova Scotia chose mimes in the first place for its new campaign warning people that keeping quiet about safety issues at the workplace isn't such a good idea. Still, the posters, like the annoying mimes themselves, do demand attention.
