Content Providing is a huge industry in the Philippines with the popularity of mobile phones, and yes... with so many people with nothing better to do...
These content may range from simple ringtones, ringbacks, mms pictures and what not... but some... are just pretty weird...
Speaking of which, I heard of a program where you can subscribe to a virtual girlfriend! For a certain fee per month... your cyber girlfriend will make ask how you are doing from time to time... If you are lucky, maybe she'll give you a virtual kiss...
Pretty weird noh? Some are quite interesting though, like winning a certain prize by sending customer feedback via your phone.
However, what I am truly writing about is a certain ad I saw in the newspaper last week. Check it out below:
Simply disturbing.
The ad has been outfitted with stereotypes;
1. The hed kandi-ish beach girl
(google image search it! "hed kandi beach girl" you'll get what I mean)
2. The bad boy - for those of you who like it "wild"
3. The boy toy.... wait... WHAT?
At the very best, the ad is trying to appeal to a certain homo-sexual demographic...
At the other end, this mobile dating community might be a swingers type of group (hhmmm... inte-res-ting)
Lastly, I wonder if the model even knew that the agency would be putting that sign over him. Hope he was well-compensated.
Boy Toy huh? Over the mobile phone... Mobile Pimping might work!
