Comments on: Brad Pitt Partly Responsible For Vietnam’s Hot Scooter Market http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/06/18/brad-pitt-partly-responsible-for-vietnams-hot-scooter-market/ Causes Entertainment Lifestyle Pop Culture Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:13:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sami http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/06/18/brad-pitt-partly-responsible-for-vietnams-hot-scooter-market/comment-page-1/#comment-103732 Sami Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:07:23 +0000 http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=7037#comment-103732 Am sure their use of the model boosted sales and the new competitive state the market is in. Even though I agree with above poster that Scooters were popular before, I think the new cool is probably because of BP. I don't blame the industry for trying to ride their coat tails, everyone else does. They should start suing the people who use their names and images for free publicity without permission. At least this is not a deliberately negative slant to get hits and exposure. Am sure their use of the model boosted sales and the new competitive state the market is in.

Scooters have always been a part of Vietnameses' life as well as Southeast Asians'. The Vietnamese males have looked quite cool riding scooters with their girlfriends/wives/children. They have always been the epitome of cool mixture of recklessness and romanticism. No helmet, no protective gears, just the man and his scooter, hugging the curves of the roads. The Japanese scooter makers just want to ride BP's popularity coat tail. They already made billions of dollars selling scooters to Southeast Asians before pics of BP riding bike the way poor folks do in VN. He is in no way responsible for scooter's popularity. That said, I did not find him the least appealing until this picture showed up. It tugged my nostalgic heart string. For my longing for days gone by, BP and AJ are partly responsible.
