Thanks for visiting my site. Apparently, Wordpress thought your comments was spam! I was thinking of the same thing too. Somehow I feel that the average Singaporean would probably be taken aback by the sarcastic humour employed by huhcorp. I do think that many of us will get it, but not the majority. Local competitors might also be offended since there is a backhanded comment being made that many similar companies are just BS-ing in their corporate websites. Somehow I don't think it'll work in an Asian context. Hey Jasmine!

Anyhows, I'm gonna comment again! :) I read about this post and thought it was a very unique way of promoting your company. However, I wonder about the effectiveness of it should a Singapore company promotes the way this Aussie company did. Will it be welcomed or dissed by people as 'trying too hard to be funny' kinda advert? Hope you had more luck with the assignment and case study. :) Love Jasmine Hey Nabilah,

I read this post too! Very funny right? I wonder if this kinda of advertising would work in Singapore as well or would it be dissed off as a 'trying to be funny' kinda advert? :) Hope you had luck with the assignment and case study. Love, Jasmine Hey Nabilah!
