its like media says "We only reflect what is happening on ground"
a close friend of mine had this experience:
He works in a US state where white americans make up the majority of population.
A caucasian white male ( man it sounds like some tv news ) colleague asked my friend
about the fair& lovely advertisement that had come , god knows how he got the link of that in you tube.
i mean i would think as a american citizen sitting in US he wouldn't come across such dumb ads,
www wat else to blame.
So he asked my friend what its all about, my friend who found it funny and felt sympathetic because the colleague didn't understand the whole concept of fair&lovely products and genuinely wanted to know why people would buy it or as he said he didn't want to give him one more reason to pull his legs.
So he just told him ,ah its nothing no body bothers abt that product.
Bad for my friend, this guy asks another indian who proudly announces " I, my wife and my kid (!!!!) use it"
and when he sent the message to another indian girl in he office, she replies back with " How do you think i became so fair"
:)) so guess i can't blame the people behind the concept of that advertisement ah..
however am highly biased with them, specially with recent trend in advertisments to use fear tactics.
There are advertisements of washing powders showcasing doctors claiming faded uniforms makes them feel inferior leading to bad grades etc., oh man there is one for height too.
if u get to see quite a few of such ads alone , its freaking Paranoid .
Referring to my previous article in outlook :
And one of many pathetic advertisements :

After many years of contemplating writing, I have started here. I do not intend to make this a open personal diary, this is only about many thoughts that i come across. Hope good men & women who pass by this cyber street, give a glance at them. "Should i" is the term I coined in 2007 and been at frozen state,so let it be that way:)

Stupid , irritating , advertisements in recent times
1. Mont blanc ( As one article mentioned in a paper, its a writing instrument what on earth have these two characters written ? U didn't get any worthwhile writers? , for record Anil Kapoor is a fav actor of mine from Tezab days, do wanna hit him for bein part of murdering "Usual suspects" in chocolate form.
2. Airtel broadband tv ( What r they trying to convey, entire nation watches actor/ actresses personal life !)
3. Docomo superb train ride ( So u get onto a bus thats the India you see, all well dressed ! )
4. White skin phobia.. the entire white trash ads.( it has no logic, its discriminating..What on earth is Censor board for)
.ah... can;t get it on mind now.. will add as it comes.. love to see what others have felt about other advertisements...
