A letter written to New Nation, applauding the Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore’s move to suspend the ad by Abercrombie & Fitch.

Much of the letter reads like a satirical piece, here are a few gems:

My daughter is turning 16 this year, and I actually forbid her from dating until she’s mature and ready. To make sure of that, I’ve added my daughter on Facebook to check that her photos are clean. I scan her profile for boys who make inappropriate advances. And so far, I’m proud to say, my daughter’s Facebook wall is clean. I only see updates that has to do with Bejeweled Blitz and schoolwork.

…

I fear for my son too. Can you imagine how ads like this could influence him? He’s going to BMT soon, where he will interact with all sorts of boys. My husband tells me that they sleep in the same bunk and share the same toilets. The army sergeants talk foul language and crack dirty jokes.

He has been a good boy. He never gets into trouble with girls. In fact, he told me he’s waiting for the ‘right one’, and doesn’t wish to flirt around. He has a healthy social life with his guy friends, going for swims, hiking trips, and sleepovers.

So you have to understand why I was upset when my two children saw the ad. All parents should be concerned about what such erotic images can do to young, impressionable minds. They are easily influenced by the Western media and the violent computer games they play. That is why I set the password in the home PC.

…

Recently, the government has been talking a lot about opening up. They brought in the casinos, Crazy Horse, and bar top dancing. Now, are they going to encourage homosexuality by allowing such inappropriate images in public space?

…

By the way, foreign workers should be kept in check just in case they get drunk, violent, and start raping our daughters. In fact, I believe Bangladeshi workers who hold hands in public should be warned by the authorities, because that is not the right image of manhood that we want to promote to young Singaporean men.

Really made my day.
