Ris Low Condom Spokesperson?

Ris Low is a condom spokesperson? Oh no, she's done it again. After winning the Miss Singapore World Title, which have been stripped of, her debate for her poor fiction, creating new Singlish words with "Boomz" and "Shingz", she's back again with another shocking headline.

It seems to me that she wants more news about her. Something "rad and loud" some headlines that will go BOOMZ! Ris Low is being appointed as a youth ambassador for condom company Espire.



We've got to take our hats off to Ris Low. Like watching an out-of-control car career back and forth across the highway from one accident to another, you feel horrified, yet strangely fascinated. And somehow the Ris Low vehicle keeps on running. She's got the media equivalent of a flak jacket -- scandal, mockery and open criticism just bounce right off. She's been stripped of her Miss Singapore World title, diagnosed as bipolar, convicted for credit card fraud, bombasted for her poor diction, laughed at for creating nonsense terms such as "boomz" and "shingz," yet she just shrugs and goes on to do something else, just as jaw-dropping.

When she was ousted as a beauty queen, she publicly stated she wanted to make a comeback as a beauty pageant organiser and was looking for sponsors for an as-yet-unnamed three-in-one beauty pageant. Then she stirred another round of controversy by the liberal use of vulgarities and expletives on the Shan + Rozz show on radio station 98.7.

But now, condom company Espire has appointed her to be their youth ambassador, to promote its latest product as well as advocate safe sex to Singapore youths.

Understandably, the reactions online have been mixed, with most expressing bewilderment and a strong sense of "oh god not her again." mllx4rt2 posted on the Diva website, "This girl is like a recurring nightmare that refuses to cease... And now she's selling Expire [sic] condoms. Why isn't her probation officer monitoring her activities?"

Chieftain chuckles at it all, writing that "we're at fault for giving her the infamous publicity to be infamous. Her determination to be a celebrity knows no bounds of decorum or sense of ethics."

On the Temasek Review website, Andrew Chen thanked the writers for "alerting us to a brand of condoms to AVOID. The Espire people can’t be very smart, I can only imagine the failure rates on their products."

no way commented, "To me, Ris Low is just another attention seeker. What “boomz” and “shingz,” really nonsense. So what if she was a former Miss Singapore World? She lost it, she doesn’t deserve. She’s a failure."

The only semi-positive response we spotted was from SeeWhoDie, who said that "we should respect her as a person. She is earning a decent living promoting this product."

Update #2 | 8th Feb 2010



Safe Sex with Ris Low


Ris low has done it again and again. I've to salute her for her perseverance for all the unwanted publicity.

Below is the newly uploaded video of Ris Low teaching Safe Sex. Is she a good role model to the teens promoting safe sex? She snapped a banana in half at the later part of the video!

"And for cheating man, do this to them. Their penis, break into half... That's all."






OUCH!

Ris Low is back in the news again and I thought I was late in posting the video above. One question that I was thinking about. Is Ris Low abit too much? Have Ris Low gone too far? Is she really that thick skin? I'm not too sure what is she thinking or what does she really want. She was the spokesperson for Espire but did not consult them when she did the safe sex video.

Said Ms Joy Tan, executive director of Zander Asia, which owns Espire: "They (producers) approached Ris directly and she went ahead without our knowledge. We are also upset by the video as it portrayed Ris in a silly manner."


The worst thing is, Ris Low claimed that Espire knew about it. Something is wrong here.

She claimed that Espire was aware of the video, and that they were "fine" with it.

Of course sooner or later they will be aware of it, but "fine" with it? I'm not too sure about that. If you were in Espire situation, what would you have done to Ris Low? Think about it and comment below.
