Ok. I just a minute ago saw this recently released ad by Airtel and Nokia. It shows people from different places,situations and occupations clutching at their hearts when they hear the 'teen teen' of a call (apparently) ,as if it brings some dreadful news. In the end they show SRK who dutifully clutches his chest and declares - (not quoting) 'jab Airtel aur Nokia ka mel ho, to garv se bolo...' - and they show the dozen different people saying 'hello!'. Well I usually do not post perverted things, but I dunno why, I suddenly wondered why there weren't any women in the ad, as they were showing different people, what was this? Discrimination?
When I imagined how it'd look if they were there.... Well never mind........

I dunno. When the national anthem plays, in most countries, the people have to clutch their hearts. Women included.

Wouldn't it make more sense to lay a hand on it as opposed to clutching?

Espèra said...

Well, yes, that is exactly what they show. And that is what I meant.

Wait don't you think that you're jumping to conclusions, there might be something to it and then again maybe not, and nationalism is in any case so overrated and boring.

Shouldn't you focus your attention on, um, more productive things than, I don't know, watching adverts on the television. Who watches adverts, I mean if you were watching Apple ads then that's ok, but Airtel, they won't know what's insanely great even if it hits them in the face and leaves an entry and exit wound, it dropped through them see...

Enough said.

If you want to see a real adverts look here and here, for perhaps the greatest advertisement ever made.
