Man's skimpy attire in TV ad is disgusting
I wrote to Mocca.com on Sept 18 to voice my and my friends' disgust at the tasteless, vulgar advertisement that is being shown frequently over our television channels at all times of the day. I got a reply from the customer service saying that contrary to our opinion, they had been receiving favourable feedback.
Whilst I agree that people have different interpretations of advertisements, I am wondering who the perverts are who think that this commercial, featuring a skimpily-dressed guy trying to sell his flat, is tasteful.
If majority of Singaporeans think this advertisement is all right, then I am very sad. It means Singapore's moral values have gone down the drain!
Could we have a consensus on this advertisement? If the majority thinks it is disgusting, then Mocca.com should take it off the air.

So the "conservative majority" our MIW love to cite does exist! I haven't seen this commercial, but apparently, people can "have different interpretations", but you're a "pervert" if you do. Naked body parts, eugh! We're supposed to be shameful of our bodies, cause viewing them is a SIN! No more bra ads! No more bikinis and briefs in pools! Oh and of course, majority rules! Who gives a rat's arse about minority rights, right? That's the beauty of democracy!
Maybe Ms. Koh is a brilliant satirist.
