Phoney business of advertising

According to me there are 3 kinds of ads....


Good, Bad and Ughly.


Currently on television there are two major telecom brands hammering their ads on every possible satellite frequency...Yes you guessed it right. Airtel and Idea.


Why i write about this is coz even if you try really really hard you can't escape these ads. It's on every channel and after every ten minutes literally.


Idea= good!


Airtel=ughly!


why you ask?


Well no reasoning required for the Idea campaign being good. It's pretty obvious. Idea ads promote the idea of education in rural India and definitely gets the message across in a sweet manner. With a hummable jingle I might add.


And the Airtel ad reminds me of just one thing really..You wanna know what?


Vidya Balan's hands! I could go on and on about how much her hands disturb me, but I won't.


In every ad you can't help but notice em.


Besides it propagates the idea of men being inefficient and lazy, which I find objectionable.


"papa ko paise bheje?" ............. "table laga do, salad bana do, covers chadha do".............."phone bill bhara?"


In the next ad i wanna hear the guy say " ye haath mujhe de de Vidyaa!"


"What an Idea sirji"





WHile on the subject let me get a social message on board....


Do not use your mobile phones while driving!!!





I can't follow you everywhere!
