P1 is getting vulgar with ‘Potong Stim”?

Is it just me or is anyone even feel offended with P1’s new advertisement?

In my opinion, P1 4G Malaysia (formerly P1 WiMax) is getting more ‘pornier’ (is there such a word?) with their advertisement lately. They have tried several other methods (like ‘Potong’ and the Kamasutra ad) to attract new users to their service, which I think is lame.

Now they come up with an even lamier (again, is there such word?) way to try and get the attention of new subscribers. Instead of improving their service, they have gone to porn to get new business.

It's Potong Stim this time

Their new advert tagline now is “Potong Stim“, which is loosely translated as “cut the steam”. They even trademarked the wording (see photo above)!

If I’m not mistaken, I’ve used the word ‘Potong Stim” when I was in secondary school, and it usually means “kacau daun” or interrupt/disturb. The sentence word start something like, “Ko nih memang potong stim la!” (you like to interrupt/disturb!). But in reality, ‘stim’ is basically referred to “sexual heat” or the feeling when you in sexual mood. So, shouldn’t the “Potong Stim” refers to that?

Well, “potong stim” can also means anticlimax.

Read this and tell me what's the message

And by publishing the advert above, supports my theory that P1 is using sex to sell. Yeah, it’s true that sex sells, but you’re are currently selling broadband services, innit?

And why isn’t the body that govern the advertising in Malaysia stopped this kind of ‘sexy’ advertisement? Do you want your children to read the advert and get the wrong message? Do ya?

Way to go, P1! Next time, why don’t you put a naked pornstar in your advert? I’ll be happy.

Assholes!
