Anytime people think of parties, fun comes to mind. After all, when’s a better time to let loose? However, unless you’re incredibly drunk, most people won’t get up to insane shenanigans while celebrating. So, this Vietnamese company’s festivities came as a huge surprise.
Most parties have games to help you bond with your co-workers. Some are daring, some are stupid, and some do actually help you bond with your co-workers. This game however was not only rated PG 18 by Vietnam’s media, but was also considered obscene.
The video, uploaded to YouTube is only 18 seconds, but there was a lot going on. To begin with, there were a row of men and women seated opposite and facing each other. Nestled in each women’s cleavage were grapes. Apparently, the men were supposed to pick up each grape and transfer them to their female colleagues mouths, without using their hands. So essentially, everything would be done using their mouths.
The people in the video looked like they were having a lot of fun. However, netizens and the media felt otherwise. They claimed the game looked obscene and vulgar, especially for a public event. A few netizens brought up the possibility of these participants being in a relationship, however, many felt it did not justify the game.
Local media dubbed the game as “picking grapes 18+” and likened it to “eating forbidden fruit“. Additionally, a netizen claimed that one female employee faced consequences with her husband for the game later. He had apparently viewed the clip and wasn’t happy with his wife’s actions.
Well, as fun as games can be, we should definitely consider whether they can be harmful. As the saying goes, “It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hurt“. On the other hand, this would certainly encourage bonds between co-workers, but perhaps not in the way a company should hope for.
