Link: “Intern Sweatshop: Sex sells in Thailand. Kinda.”

8 Sep

I came across this post on the Renegade Agency Confessional that I really liked. It talks about how sexuality is used in Thailand in advertisements and how it’s vastly different than how sexuality is used in America.

This post shows some great examples and is written very well. It says:

Sexuality in Thai ads isn’t used to sell products in the same way as other countries, perhaps because sex as a selling point is overdone outside advertising.

I probably should have been more observant when I was in Thailand this past February/March, but them’s the breaks. This post really breaks down how different the obvious prostitution in Thailand isn’t the same as the “sex” in TV spots. Well worth a read and really brought back some great memories for me. You can read it here.
