Boring Singaporeans

Back to my rants and flames again.

I read the Sunday Times article "Burger joint grilled over ad" by Cheryl Tan (Lifestyle section, page 2) with disgust. Not because I thought the advertisement was vomit-inducing but because I find Singaporeans in general are so uptight that it makes me wana puke.

I personally found the advertisement slogan "It'll blow your mind away" (and coupled with the fact that the burger was called the Super Seven Incher) hilarious. I was laughing out loud when I first saw the ad. I thought it was a refreshing change from the usual boring ads and kinda witty cause it made you think to get the joke.

But, of course, Singaporean have to go and complain that the advertisement is "vulgar". Oh like come on! How boring and close-minded can you guys get? Honestly, some of the people in this country are so uninteresting, I can fall asleep talking to them. Singaporeans have absolutely no sense of humour.

When I was in Australia, the university had advertisements for a discount card with the slogan "Your friend with benefits" and it featured a hunky guy or a very pretty girl on the advert. If that advertisement was put up in Singapore, I think the public would go up in arms against the university.

Like I said, it's so hard to find somebody with an open mind and interesting to talk to here in Singapore. Just when a company comes up with an interesting and funny advertisement, you guys gotta go and shoot it down. Shame in you conservative freaks. It's because of people like you that this country is so damn boring.
