Through sponsored ads appearing across social
media, Lay a Tây’s controversial tagline, “A Tây is for your bedroom, not just the
classroom” has been met with the ridicule it obviously deserves.
Stating she was outraged after looking up the meaning of the
colloquialism “lay,” local bachelorette, Ms. Nguyen spoke exclusively to The
Durian reporters to express her outrage.
“Why
would I want to take a Tây home with me? The only Vietnamese they can speak is
‘hai bia’, you can’t take them to weddings as they refuse to eat delicious
boiled chicken and they stink of the horrid cheeses they’re all addicted to”
she said.
A spokesperson for Lay a Tây was contacted, but declined to
comment.
The company has since put out a statement through their Instagram
account claiming “We meant no harm in our jocular attempts to acquire
fornication for the lovelorn westerners occupying Hanoi, it’s really more like
a services exchange app – where users can swap explanations of the finer points
regarding English grammar or renditions of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes for
sexual favours, which is really just a formalisation of many personal ads on
Facebook groups when you think about it.”
At press time our reporters were questioning what kind of
gutless cowards release statements through Instagram, and if this means they’ll
have to download yet another soul and phone battery sucking app.
The Durian is a
satirical news outlet, all of our stories are completely fictional, designed
only to amuse and entertain. Any resemblance to people living or dead is purely
coincidental and in no way intended to hurt your feelings. Sorry for pointing
out the obvious, but there’s an abundance of humourless morons out there.
I always wondered what came first, the honking or hopefully the braking...
