Marketing Mysteries
A new night club opened new Kwangangli Beach here in Pusan. Apparently, the club is called "Twins". Unless it is a gay club (which I doubt, because Korea frowns on such things being displayed openly), then I have no idea where the marketing company came up with idea for this poster advertisement. Gay club or not, why is dude sticking his hand in the other dude’s mouth and why is this on a street where young children play? I don’t care if it is two guys, two girls, or one of each, it is stupid and pointless.
If not more disturbing, then equally as disturbing as "Twins" is the Joon Bear (US$ 291)
Will someone please slap this jerk?
According to this article from Japan Today:
Expressing disgust about the unrealistic expectations that Japanese women are putting on their men because of this guy:
"Yong-sama is viewed by these women as some kind of Mr Perfect, who completely lacks a male body odor, and who doesn’t even excrete semen," says Iwai. "He may seem to be appealing to these middle-aged Japanese women, but I think what the women really love are themselves."
As an added bonus (of ridculousness and stupidity)…I used to have a link to some idiotic "Korean Seduction Science" product that some morons put togther and try to sell to anyone dumb enough to buy it. I first saw the link on The Beast’s Blog found it so dumb that I thought to post it here and comment on it in my usual sarcastic, mocking manner. I have removed the link becuase of all of the flak coming my way because of it. At least I am not alone in being misunderstood….The Beast’s Blog owner also seems to have come under fire for basically the same thing. He says:
"Y’all need to learn how to take a joke. I wasn’t serious about that thing. It was JUST A JOKE! Lighten up! It’s so stupid, I had to comment on it. You know, like a dumb and dumber thing? Come on people, you know me better than that. And if you’re a random person reading my blog, then you don’t know me."
I second that.
