sing a happy song
watching the whorish-looking girls singing this song which seems to be kpop crossbred with north korean propaganda marches just to explain the senior citizens package is ... hmmmm ... convincing me that beavis and butthead have a quite large family!

Dang! That is seriously bizarre! Who produced it?
Re: sing a happy song
Since it is targeted towards the local older folks, this kind of campaigns work ... mingling with the older folks will clearly show that the love this kind of garish skits.Strong Eagle wrote:Dang! That is seriously bizarre! Who produced it?
Now .. if the audience is foreigners .. no comments
I doubt the producers wanted foreigners to give their comments

She's a getai performer. I don't know her. Getai shows are staged during the month of Hungry Ghost and popular free entertainment in the old days. Well-received by the elderly folks but not sure about their appeal for the younger generation.

Red is definitely a signifier of sexual maturity, especially in a shade of baboon butt red

Not sure if your intention is to piss off the natives .. but you are doing a great job so far ..calugaruvaxile wrote:yeah, they look like the innocent girls from the 4 floors of little girls waiting to grow up (something)

As for 'opinions' the local feed back has been positive, though some asked for more dialect versions - and those who gave feedback are the PGs, at whom the campaign is targeted at ..
On that score, I would say it is a success !
Re: sing a happy song
I don't see it whorish neither. It's a pure kitsch essence and with their legs work similar to what can be seen every day on the streets it's actually anti-sexual.
Re: sing a happy song
Does anyone know what the advert is for?

Re: sing a happy song
Damn! You're older than I thoughT! Older'n me apparently. If it were anti-sexual why use cute nubile youngish ladies with reasonably nice bodies, etc. rather than 40~50ish ah peks.x9200 wrote:I don't see it whorish neither.

Mebbe I'm getting old but I lost track somewhere along the way amongst all the dancing girls

p.s. Everyone in Sg is a foreigner, just on a relative scale. (Unless you're of Sundanese heritage of course).
