Asus resorts to scantily clad models to promote Eee PC netbooks
August 28, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Asus isn’t the first company and it won’t be the last to use half naked women to help sell a product. It has teamed up with modelling agency Moko to help promote its line of Eee PC netbooks in Asia. Whilst pretty girls are often used to get a product some exposure, they don’t often involve women with their tops half way up their chest!
Obviously, Asus are looking to tap into the young male segment to push sales. The real question is, how many in that segment would actually notice the Eee PC’s! Check out a selection of photos after the break. We normally wouldn’t post something like this, but it is Friday…

Drat, busted!
I very well could have put this post up without the large pics, but what would be the fun in that! 😉

Judging from the pictures, these are not the typical sultry pictures you’d expect. Some of them are as likely to appeal to women as men, because of the way they’re shot, and the fact the girls are ‘cute’. Cute in parts of Asia is a huge selling point for both sexes.

It makes me feel bad I have ordered eeepc just a couple of days ago
I have no desire to support a company which promotes such form of sexism and objectifies woman in such a way.
It’s also insulting to their potential customers. There are many good reasons to purchase eee pc, but I doubt that a girl sitting in a doggie position holding a unit is one of them.

don’t be paranoid Idan. You have obviously no idea of the asian culture of marketing products. And to be honest…. sexism? gimme a break!
