ASEAN NOW News Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Were you able identify if a woman is from Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore or Cambodia? Yesterday, we posted five photos which had been randomly selected from Google featuring five women. The correct answers were: No 1. Was from the Philippines. No.2 from Singapore. No.3 from Thailand. No.4 from Vietnam No.5 from Cambodia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Farmerslife Posted September 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is it just me or is there something distasteful about original post? For your next trick you could post photos of 5 ageing white males and ask if we could identify their country of origin. Every bit as relevant. 4 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would want a piece of the cake. furthermore, how did ANO think up such bigoted question, and moreover posted it under “News”? As if a face, and its implied racial features, can tell anything about where a person is from. or is it a statement towards readers, that there is no other NEWS to report in the AseanNow perspective of the world? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pookett Posted September 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) A bit silly this. You could have taken 5 women from the same village, dressed them differently, applied makeup to some and not others and would probably have even greater differences. The chosen photos were totally non representive and out of context. as others have said a waste of time and very poor advertising. BTW, I lucked out and got all 5 correct, closed eyes and pin method!

connda Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The Hi-So beauty queen class which more often that not are sporting European genes are not your typical gal you find in any of these countries. Miss Cambodia is probably the only exception to that list. Try posting pictures of small groups of ethnically similar average women (like Miss Cambodia as opposed of a lineup from The Miss <enter country> Beauty Pageant from each of those countries. Those of us who have lived and traveled through this region could probably identify the differences with close to 100% accuracy. And you could toss in Japanese, Koreans, Malay, and Chinese women to boot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except #5 who is a natural beauty. All except No. 5 lifted straight from cosmetic ads geared up to make them look 'western', therefore barely distinguishable from each other and with hardly any resemblance to 99.9999% of any of the indigenous populations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asean Now does not publish it's own news reports, it aggregates articles from other sources and then re-publishes those articles. My reference to news forum was related to the posting by the news-team. My reasoning was logical, as, where else would the news-team post their News? However, as the News-team, accordingly to their activity log, is not meaningfully involved in news, in future I will do my utmost not to read their posts. Then, as we know now, and thank you for elaborating this so clearly, this is a Private Forum, and the members are considered as not in any position to pompously decide or have an opinion. This statement is implying that you seem to be of the opinion that users of this website are "members". I strongly disagree and am of the opinion that during the last 12 months or so the users have become "Customers" by the choosing of the operators of the contraption. Where else do I see so many advertisements on my screen as in Ano, and advertisements are per definition targeted at Consumers or Customers, not members big or small, and hence the website seems to have chosen to maximise earnings from per-view and click revenue, rather than making the effort to attract users by interesting discussions and disseminating local or home country, interesting to know and discuss, articles, sparingly laced with targeted advertisements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Then, as we know now, and thank you for elaborating this so clearly, this is a Private Forum, and the members are considered as not in any position to pompously decide or have an opinion". I did not say that members are not in a position to have an opinion, those are you words deliberately twisting what I actually said. I said that this is a private forum and members do not get to pompously dictate what is "worthy", as you did, nor what is posted where and by whom. I have no interest in your diatribe about the definition of "members" but you go ahead, fill yer boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
