Korean Sprite commercials are gross and get on my nerves

I'm curious about how GAF will respond to this because I know there's a big kpop community here, but let's see.

They're literally saying "Want to have a Sprite shower together?" and then just random uncomfortable/lingering closeups on tits/ass.

They're just leering and gross, which is true of most things related to kpop, but these are way too obvious. Coupled with the thought of taking a shower in soda and it just gives me a headache.

Bonus tea commercial:

What do you guys think?
 
Asian culture. Being over here in the region I have realized how racist AND sexist they are.

Videos are fine though. Very tame for over here, you should see the electronic expos they hold.
 
Just saying tip of iceberg.

Kinda holding a grudge for the stuff I see over here.

You're bringing up stuff that has no relevance to the topic. "Asia is so RACIST and SEXIST." "Sex sells" is a time-honored tradition. Look at that burger ad posted in this thread. You just see something that offends you and then try to pin it on a group of people.
 
It really sounds like she is saying 캍이 샤워 싫어요? That can't be right. That means something like "I hate showering together"

Do you want to have a sprite shower?

Wow my listening skills have degraded. I can barely hear the difference between 샤워 하실래요 and 샤워 싫어요.

Now that you point it out I hear it but damn. I need to hit the books again.

Edit: Also, fuck the pronunciation of ㅌ in 같이
 
It is understandable why some people would be put off by these commercials.

However I find these to be highly pleasing in the aesthetics department and believe the format of boobs and butts in sprite showers with neck slices should be adapted to all sprite commercials around the world. Especially the neck slice, that is imperative.
