Before all you people out there thinks I’m too full of myself…

No,I’m not talking about me being sexy here but the new adverts on AXN.

Probably inspired by Right Said Fred’s “I’m too sexy” , the ad consists of the various male artistes in the AXN TV series. Namely “House”, “CSI – Miami”,”CSI NY”,”CSI Las Vegas”,”CSI”,”24″,”Amazing Race Asia”,”Chuck” & “Numb3rs”.

Too sexy - AXN

* Allan Wu (Host of Amazing Race Asia) was not included in the video but his wallpaper is available for downloads in the official website.

The first time I watched the ad, I found it pretty hilarious,clever editing.

Especially if you’re big fan of the TV series,that is.

The second time I watched the ad, it was rather annoying because of the repetition.

The third time I watched the ad, I gave up – I switched to the next channel.

(but i admit that the male leads are all hot and sexy despite being in their thirties/forties.)

Take a look at the ad and tell me what do you think ? =)

AXN was banned in India last year for adversely affecting ‘public morality’ , due to the show ” World’s Sexiest Commericals”. This leads to the topic mentioned in one of my Ethnography classes earlier this term – Censorship.

I believe that the way people interpret information is influenced by the values you’ve been taught since infancy. I think censorship somehow rejects a world of different ideas and dimensions as the extensive range of opinions are no longer available.

Of course, I’ve met people who are unwilling to accept criticism or any ideas that challenges their own. These are the people who are unable to develop complex vision that offers new alternatives. And that is why I’m talking about mature audience here – people who are able to form their opinions and do not take other’s opinions as “putting you down” or trying to antagonize you.  Sometimes I feel that people are forced to bow down to pressure and exercise censorship just because a minority disagree to the general consensus. Censorship is a powerful tool that can change the world – be it politically,historically,religiously and socially. Eventually it boils down to receiving information that was given by the ones on top of the hierarchy or what the media is feeding the society with.

This so reminds me of my friend’s ST interview case again. I honestly doubt the accountability of ST lately. Oh wells.
