Don’t we all love a holiday romance?
In the lead up to our Bali trip next month…just thought I’d remind you of that great little ad that’s been doing the rounds on telly and the internet.
Nothing like watching a bit of sexual tension between a sunburnt, glassy-eyed Aussie tourist and a suave Balinese cocktail waiter.
Thanks to clever AAMI marketing, Ketut has shot to fame and is even making a special appearance at the upcoming Melbourne Cup. Not bad for a part-time fork lift driver.
Having been to Bali on a number of occasions, I love watching this ad because it sums up the boys over there to a tee! Those sultry dark eyes with the intense stare, the va-va-voom smile…
But then again, what would I know? I am merely an innocent observer. Ahems.
Just keepin’ my eyes on the road.
For Ketut and Rhonda, let’s Flog It !
P.S This is not a sponsored post for AAMI. But damn it, I practice safe driving!!! So, where’s my cocktail by the beach?

I’d give anything to be sitting on a beach ANYWHERE with a cocktail. Gorgeous man or not. Actually probably not. Just give be the booze & a good book

Hahaha, kiss me Ketut! The follow-up ad is a scream.
They spoiled it a little bit in Vic with the ads during footy finals – not sure if you would have seen them, but they had an ad with Ketut and Denis Cometti and Ketut told Denis to keep his ‘eyes on the ball, Denis’. And there was another ad based on the ‘beautiful brake foot’ ad as well. ‘Beautiful kicking foot’ perhaps? They were very ho-hum.

I found the ads annoying at first, but they’re seriously growing on me!
Mel @ Subversive Reader recently posted..Staying In The Lines
LOL! That ad always makes me cringe a little. Probably b/c I feel like I could be her if I were in Bali! The sunburned tourist getting drunk and flirting with the poor bartender who’s just trying to make a buck or two. HA!

I have to say that I love the ad just for his name. It makes me giggle. Ketut. It sounds like a word my grandma would have used for doing a fluff! Sorry Ketut!

I’ve been to Bali once and loved it. Though I was a lot younger then.
I must say this ad drives me bonkas though.
Enjoy your trip.
