10 April 2008

Short Talk:

I'm slowly getting the fitness routine back into my life after being absent from the gym for the past 2 months due to heavy travel. April's travel schedule is relatively much lighter compared to February and March. Even so, I still gotta hop on a plane out of Kuching every week.


Something Is Very Wrong With This Ad

Milan is famous for being the designer fashion capital of the world.

Versace, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Dolce & Gabanna, Kanina, Tualampa. You name it, you got it.

Naturally, there are heaps of billboard ads from all the famous fashion houses adorning the walls of the buildings around here. The best thing about these ads is that they are all very eye-catching, because more often than not they employ some of the best supermodels in the world.

Like this Dolce & Gabanna ad I saw at the Milan airport.

At first glance, this seems like a pretty typical ad for a fashion label.

You got a couple of hot chicks in the centre of attention, having fun, dancing together with some other equally hot guys. All the girls are dressed in nice dresses. All the guys are dressed in fine suits. All of them looking like a million bucks.

Everything looks all fine and dandy like a normal party scene, but did you see something SERIOUSLY wrong with this ad?

Why is that guy DANCING IN HIS UNDIES next to a girl?

In other parts of the world, his arse would be locked in jail for sexual harrassment ok!

Re: dupi

Posted by: kcin at 10 April 2008 1:38 PM | Link to comment

Well... I think even if the guy is not wearing anything, and still dancing beside those gals... I think it won't be much of a big issue over there. But if the same situation happens in Malaysia. Wow... May god bless him

Your eyes are real sharp la Kenny. But I think this is nothing wrong la in the advertisement. Nice ad though!

this is lame, seriously.

Posted by: nnn at 10 April 2008 1:50 PM | Link to comment

It's a D&G ad showing off their clothing line, isn't it? I really don't see what is wrong with the ad...even if it appears in M'sia.

Cheers!

Posted by: Alex C. at 10 April 2008 2:06 PM | Link to comment

Quite a disappointing post compared to the usual standard. Nothing that unusual about the advertising.

I was looking at the pictures for a third nipple or for unusually shaped genitalia, you know, the type that "hang like sleeve of wizard" :p LOL

Posted by: Bookmaker at 10 April 2008 2:09 PM | Link to comment

Also notice the lack of "colour" among the models . . .

Just like the local carlsberg ad from a few years ago where an international cast of models (orientals, africans to blonde caucasians) were whistling a hugely irritating tune in a bar. Note that Carlsberg did NOT include its largest group of customers in the ad - the INDIANS!

I've seen tonnes of ads like that throughout my stay in UK and Europe. No big deal. Just don't do that in M'sia or u'll get JAIS or JAKIM coming for u..

btw, did u watch TV in hotel in Rome? The 1 i was staying, they have pay TV which doesn't prompt for your permission and charge when u check out. Darn, most of us fell for the trap!

Well that's pretty standard fare for fashion. Come on Kenny, you've got to get more in tune with the fashion world, you're a judge on M'sian Dreamgirls now!

Check out the one below, I guarantee it'll make your above example look like a Parkson ad:

Its just that i reckon this entry was a bit erm.......dunno how to call it.Sometimes accepting people comment could be a hardest thing but it could be an improvement as well.

Typical Anglo-Saxon prejudice - women must dress in itty-bitty skimpy stuff, while men cannot be so exposed. Continental Europeans have no problem with that lo.

There is nothing wrong, my idol. Don't you see there is group of people who have the top shirt off in the advertisement? Underwear also need to sell, come on.

Posted by: AndyLau at 11 April 2008 8:53 AM | Link to comment

yea i dun see anything wrong with that too. hmm

Posted by: Patricia at 11 April 2008 9:02 AM | Link to comment

Actually Kenny, I agree with some of them. I don't find anything wrong with that. Furthermore, the underwear carries the D&G logo. It's a form of advertisement to sell D&G underwears perhaps!!

Maybe you can write a letter or email to D&G and you could do something like what you did to OSIMS U zap, and pose yourself, then recommend to D&G as a proposal. See if they do reply you. Hihihi...
=P

Posted by: Dark Witch at 11 April 2008 9:58 AM | Link to comment

its meant to mock the stupid news about the Wawa model acussing the "model and actor" of sexual harressment la..

The main point is not the ad. its the news!

LAME!!!

and by the way, they DO show that ad in Asia in many magazines, even in the middle east by the way!

Hmmm... it's spelled Gabbana not Gabanna. Plus I think nothing is wrong with the ad... to some people I guess they can't seem to absorb these sort of ad, thats why Malaysia don't franchise this great label which is a really sad thing (look at how poorly we our country people's fashion sense is no offense). So sad. I think D&G's concept is sometimes very sexist but overall, unique.

this is THE Dolce and Gabbana. They've been doing controversial and edgy ads since forever.
This one is nothing.

You should see those gang rape, homosexuality D&G ads.
They're worse than this one.

Welcome to high fashion.

It's art.

Posted by: hyy at 11 April 2008 11:28 PM | Link to comment

dont get discouraged kenny sia, you can only cater to so much of the targeted market, and not everyone buys your game, dont be offended by some comments as some are meant to just pull you down and some to build you up, select some and discard the rest, you dont even have to hear them.

i dont think this is lame/desperate/lazy post, some jokes are meant to be short or 'slapstick'. some hates parodies , some laugh their lungs out at it. Some love intellectual stand up jokes, some dont even get a word out of it.

so for some of you guys who dont think it's funny, keep it to yourself, just know that he can't always be writing or posting something that can impress you 24/7, unless you're paying him to be your personal entertainer, you have all the rights to scold or ask him to do something you've supposedly paid him to do.
