No suggestive photos in dating agency ads

SLEAZY advertisements with suggestive pictures promoting matchmaking services will no longer grace the main pages of newspapers.

Such ads can only appear in text, in the classified section of print publications. And they cannot guarantee marriages.

The Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore on Tuesday announced these changes to the Singapore Code of Advertising Practice, following concerns received last year.

Dating agencies accredited with the Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports, however, can continue to run ads with visuals in the main pages of a print publication.

The advertising standards board is also willing to consider exemptions from the new guidelines on a case-by-case basis.

Also, following concerns from the police last year, moneylenders who want to place an ad will now have to produce a copy of their moneylender's licence. Such ads will have to carry the name of the firm.

What about those phone lines for the lonely at night? I see the advertisements quite sexy.

Some are.unless one is too lucky to chat to a hottie,who knows?

人情味不是偏私而是博爱,

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌,

而是内心的尊重。
