Indulging in my Own Pleasures

…tell me yours, too.

Random Fact.

Posted on December 13, 2007 in the photo, internet finds category

Toyota Altis ads featuring Brad Pitt were banned in Malaysia after the country’s deputy information minister ruled that Pitt’s handsome appearance may make Malaysian countrymen feel inferior. “Why must we use their faces in our advertisements?” asked Zainuddin Maidin to London’s Guardian. “Aren’t our own people handsome enough?”

Do you believe in this? If you don’t, well, you should because it’s a fact and I got it here.

    He/she got a point there Mel…. (the malaysian minister) Pero kawawa naman si Brad Pitt dahil trabaho lang naman yun at hindi nya talaga kasalanan na ma-hired para gumawa ng ads….! In a way ay ridiculous and unfair na rin dahil hindi lang naman ang toyota ads ang may foreign talents a, pati na rin naman ang mga food, drinks, movies, etc na pumapasok sa malaysian market di ba….? Have a goodie weekend….! =D
