Sex sells. It’s sad but true. We see that in the world of video game games, music and wire mesh. Wire mesh? In Taiwan, wire mesh.
For the past few years, a Taiwanese wire mesh company has apparently been using models to promote its wire and, uh, mesh products. This was something popular Taiwanese sites like Yam News and News Gamme noticed a while back.
Of course, people in Taiwan thought these publicity pics were unusual too. But if the goal was publicity (and it was), mission accomplished? I guess?
There are even videos of the models, holding up things like filters, netting and aluminium wires.
However, I think we can all agree that the most attractive model is this one:
The images feature the company’s its contact number and email address. The whole thing seems utterly ridiculous.
But, how is it more ridiculous than a PC gaming company hiring an attractive model to pose with hardware? It probably isn’t!

You realise you are contributing to this by posting this article, right?
While that’s true, I’m sure the publicity provided here simply does a lot more for our entertainment than it does for the wire mesh company’s profits.
It’s true. This isn’t a website for wire mesh enthusiasts after all.

I was wondering how this story related to gaming. It took you a while but you got there. Good boy. Im sure you’ll get a cookie like all the other allies do
Having said that, I’ve seen models posing, trying to sex up ceiling fans, light switches and home appliances. It just comes off incredibly awkward.
Oh yeah. Check out that mesh. That is some hot mesh.
Oooh yeah. Keep those chickens in. I love it when you stop people from just walking through my door.
It’s making me sweaty. Mmm, textiles.
Not so much “proof” but more like “nothing”.
I need some chicken wire.
I don’t really have a purpose for it……I just need some.
