Banned Hong Kong Sprite ads

[ala]

How much do these ads reflect the reality in HK? If a lot, why banned? I assume they must reflect society, because even in Shanghai now, under puritan govt, there is a tendency to express the alternative. Esp with rising unemployment, misled faiths and disillusionment etc.

hehe they all look pretty old for the age they list, or maybe I was just premature.

[Quest]

the things they say seem pretty acceptable to me.

but to promote them is another matter I guess.

I'm quite sure the ads company knew it would be controversial, it's controversial so it was chosen to be the ads, and then banned.

[林彪]

I'm glad they banned it, actually. It's mind manipulation. I don't see what's so hot about some carbonated sugary sludge water anyway.

What is wrong with those messages?

(1) Age 14 is not a kid:

In the subtropical climate like HK, menstruation start as early as 10 years old among some girls. Of course, 14 is not a kid any more.

(2) Bra Cup size 31A is not a shame:

Better than American girls who have silicon implant at the age of 16.

(3) Lesbain:

What is wrong with lesbian?

(4) Teacher-student love:

Do you mean you guys/gals never secretly love your teacher in the High School years?

(5) 10A excellence:

Dancing, piano, comic drawing, fashion, writing, acting,.....etc all offer great potential in HK.

调侃 is not a Cantonese vocabulary. 9 out of 10 people in Hong Kong will scratch their heads and try to find out what you mean when you said 调侃.
