'Flick yourself': Kiwi power company's vibrator ad causes a buzz

A power company is causing quite a buzz on social media with its electricity ad - featuring a vibrator.

In a poll posted to Facebook on Saturday, Wellington-based Flick Electric asked Kiwis what they'd prefer to be doing tonight.

"How's your Saturday looking? A flat out party with mates or a night in and me time?" Flick posted. It then offers the options of either voting for a clothes iron, or a vibrator.

"#Flickyourself" it adds. "#Powerneverfeltsogood."

The poll is currently running 78 percent in favour of a night in with the vibe, however, it has rubbed some New Zealanders the wrong way.

"I'm so confused - is that a dildo for me time? Ok, just trashy marketing. But is that an iron for a party with mates? Wtf,"  one person commented on Reddit.

"How on earth did that get sign off... It may have got her off, though," another said.
