Advertisements..

Just felt how despo the advertising world here is. the advertisements back home ,compared to the ones here, were nothing but superb. These guys here have a simple way of making advertisements..
Go to the walmart of advertisements..
get the cheapest one..
put ur brand name at the end.. QED.

That explains the National Geographic Chameleons on Geico's ad.. the pretty lady changing her attire every frame on the automechanic advertisement..

Going back to advertisements back home.. i have always liked the one .. i think for tide... where big B interviews a boy for admission to school... where the boy goes.. "Muje poetry bhi aathi hai.. Yellow yellow dirty fellow".. On those lines.. here is my contribution...

The clock is ticking,
My eyes are blinking,
The bed is beckoning,
For I may continue my dreaming.


and ye who read this,
Get back to work and stop screaming..

I'd say it suits the people's style here. Advertisement should serve the prupose...and that being attract people. Maybe ppl here like watching such stuffs...wht iam saying is..u cnat draw any clear compasrrisons as u did between india and here...they are completely different culturally.

p.s- u have a simple style of writing yet captivating...

Dude the best ads even back in India come during special events and in between cricket games. Its the same here. U watch Superbowl and the top ads are shown on that day. Me not that great a football fan notice some good ads during football and baseball games. I accept that most of the ads are non exciting. But thats how these people watch ads... Indian ads are great.. European car ads are naturally beautiful. Our ideas are awesome when it comes to the ad industry... Bein in a country where u spend most of ur time working and thinkin abt ur time schedule these monotonous ads do bring the strange "what the hell was that" kind of a laughter. So laugh ur life out dude... chill out
