Indian Media Bash Blog

Vodafone is apparently in trouble with animal welfare authorities due to this advertisement. Funny India.

Hat Tip: Rutsum

Or, how to throw big bucks down the drain by senseless advertising.

Tip # 1: Scheme a no-brainer plot in which a boyfriend apes an alien straight out of Youngisthan and conveniently decieves the supposed “scientist” older brother.

Tip # 2: Evoke much laughter out of this particular ad and have it thrashed in print & media alike.

Tip # 3: Make a sequel to the original ad that “justifies” the Youngisthan point of view.

Tip # 4: Pretty much look silly by now, robotic voice or not.

I disliked the second Youngisthan clarifying ad simply because you cannot justify one stupid ad by another. Thank god, Shah Rukh Khan had the sense to skip the latest ad even if the two new starlets didnt.
