Pole dancing yummy men

Being somewhat a goggle box of the late, I happened to watch this show on Channel 8/U called Crossfire, and they were discussing whether Singapore should allow companies to use such marketing gimmicks. In their example, the company in doubt called it "Ladies' Night" or "shu nu zhi ye" and at the Heartland of Tampines at C Square, engaged some hot sweaty MALE bods shaking their bon bons really really hard wearing skimpy shorts or tight leather pants with their G strings showing a bit, just the way we girls fear when wearing our ultra low waist jeans. All as part of their marketing gimmick, which is of no relevance to the product itself. So is it right to do it or not?

To me? What's the big deal. The only qualms I really had was that why of all places in such a public place like Century Square. That's all. I mean, I really suppose they just want crowds, and the way to get crowds is to have something new, something different, from the rest. Like there was a time where companies made girls sell bubble tea in bikinis. And it created the hoo-ha they wanted and people went there to look at the babes and well, bought their bubble tea. Objective met.

There will always be an association of skimpy women with beers and cars. What relevance were there? There never were. It's just to boost sales. And it's not illegal, or too controvesial. Paris Hilton was engaged by Carl's Jr too. For Burger! Or Tiger's latest ad?

Is it then, because of the fact that it is now male bods we are talking about, making men the object of desire?

There was this professor from China who said things like the only reason why we are different from animals is that we know how to control our emotions and desires and we have managed to supress this for thousands of years. Why now let it all come to a waste.

And I was really like ????????
So a night of watching some bon bons will unleash the animal in you and you will just lay every guy you lay your hands on? And it will really waste away the thousands of years of surpression? WOW.

And then she said why must we follow the Western society all the time, just because they do it we must do it meh?

You know, I really really hate it when people always always blame the Far West for everything. For the openess about sex lah, for the bad influence lah, for the increase in crime rates lah, increase in rapes lah, whatever. Not like I am a firm supporter of the Ang Mohs or anything, but please be reasonable, it's not all their fault.

I really believe it is a result of globalisation AND urbanisation. Cramping thousands and thousands of people in the city with nothing better to do, it is inevitable shit happens. And the refusal to believe that times have changed (since long ago but people just didn't want to say it out openly)

I digress. Conclusion? Do it man, whatever you like, just not at such a public place next time please, where kids are around.
