Rhonda and Ketut from AAMI's Car Insurance Commercial are a Facebook Hit



WE'VE all seen the ad and now Rhonda and Ketut are Facebook celebrities in their own right.
The stars of AAMI's car insurance ad, in which a sunburnt Australian woman and a Balinese bar attendant converse on a beach has spawned a fan page which has attracted over 52,000 likes in less than 48 hours.

The page, which has been named "The sexual tension between Katut and Rhonda," (sic) suggests that there is something more to Ketut and Rhonda's conversation than first meets the eye.
The creator of the page has reposted phrases from the ad such as "You look so hot today Rhonda. Like a sunrise" and "You're naughty" to back up his assumptions.

And users agree that there might be something going on between the flirty pair.
"You two are 'doing it', I know you are, everyone can tell..." wrote Daniel Taite.
Others have praised the ad for being the "best on TV".

"My kids are OBSESSED wth this ad, they run around playing 'the brakefoot game' and yelling rhonda is mine rhonda is mine. whoeva creatd this ad is a clever person very catchy," wrote Amber Lefevre.

While Jan D'orival added: "love the ad katut, when are you going to do another one?"
However, Rhonda isn't just making waves on Facebook.

Tribute t-shirts are already being sold in the Indonesian holiday destination and fans have posted photos of them wearing the souveniers on the page.

"Bali is actually full of singlets now that say "rhonda is mine" "I love rhonda" etc! They're so quick!" wrote Arlene Baverstock
Several other fan pages dedicated to Rhonda have also been created, including one that accuses the ad of being racist and reeking of "cultural and economic imperialism."
