Sex Sells
Recently, there was a charity event which seemed to have caused a little stir, at least this is how I see it judging from the forum I read everyday at work. 1 of the highlights of this charity event is the 'kiss a celebrity' event which allows anyone who pays $10 (which proceeds to charity) to kiss either Elvin Ng or Jade Seah. Just a simple kiss on the cheeks or lips I guess, but definitely no french kissing or anything funny.
Would u pay $10 to kiss them?
Elvin Ng
Jade Seah
I might consider kissing Elvin if I were a girl but I would definitely not pay to kiss Jade. Maybe she should pay to kiss me instead!
Conservative thinking people have termed this event as a disgrace or a sign that encourages sex which I find totally ridiculous. I would understand if someone is paying to french kiss or go further. But a peck on the cheeks with the money going to charity? No way. And when u think about how many celebrities would actually agree to be kissed by absolute strangers, u get the picture. I don't think it's fun sitting down on a chair for a couple of hours while all kinds of strangers, some with bad breath, dirty lips, oily mouths or whatever take turns to plant kisses all over your face. Several facial companies would surely have been fighting to be the event's sponsor for providing facial for these 2 celebrities!
Back to the topic. Singapore may seem like a suburban and open minded country alike America or even Australia but the fact is that there are still many ridiculously conservative people around. What's ironic is that these people who often goes "eeeks so shameful lah, touch here and there in public" are also doing it themselves without realizing it.
What prompts those kind of comments can only boil down to 1 thing - the Singaporean mentality. So much for all these public stunts to discourage pre-marital sex or underage sex when sex is being sold like hotcakes.
Sex sells! Yes, why not? If sex doesn't sells, why do guys bother to buy those FHMs or Maxims? Why do girls attend beach parties or manhunt events? Why are prositutes continuing to pile all over red light districts? Why are there strip clubs in the world? Blame it on lust and society. Put these 2 words together and u get a nice answer...
And finally, I wouldn't pay to kiss Jade Seah because she simply isn't a stunner, not even a 8. She's at most a 7 and isn't worth parting company with $10 to plant a kiss on. If we're talking about local celebrities, there are 2 faces or lips I'd definitely consider though.

Society drives people crazy with lust and calls it advertising.
