The source of these images, http://www.soco.org.hk/cagehome/, is an intriguing (if somewhat poorly executed) advocacy-cum-exhibition site.

For those who don't want to click through, the site first present you with a fake Firefox popup, with the only a close button. Each time you close one of them, new ones will appear in greater numbers. Do this three times, and your screen will be filled with popup and a message that translate roughly to:

> Ignoring the housing problem will only make it worse, help us change the status quo!

> Our city may be beautiful on the surface, but underneath all that 10 000 hardworking low income workers are unable to share the fruit of our success. Families are forced to live in apartments with an average area of 40 square feet. They need your help to improve their lives; forward this email, help promote social justice!
