Advertisements (Commercials) make me mad :)

Half the world watches Television for soaps , music , dance etc . I primarily watch Television for Ads and I feel very lucky that I found a friend with whom I can discuss any ad that I love .I stay at a hostel so see very few ads but am planning to buy a Television exclusively to watch Ads !

I simply adore the way the current system works . Some Ads between some soaps or some between News clippings is the perfect flavor to the tongue , just like well garnished salads between yummy meals . Its a very good respite to see how one man's thoughts have the capability to keep the other person in absolutely another part of the world engaged for 3 to 5 minutes . And the most captivating ones are those which keep you guessing till the end

The bigger challenge is faced by the news papers , where the sole medium of transmission are few words , no speech , no ears and still if their ads are able to hold the reader then the target is achieved

Its my personal observation that the standard of ads has really improved in making the product really enticing . We have really come rungs up from mere selling of product to actually making it "wanted"

Relaince , Airtel , Idea ads are in the top of the innovative list of Ads

Ad agency are no more restricted only to fair skin and beauty display . There is more personal touch attached to them . There is more awareness among the normal gentry and its not a child's play to fool the intelligensia . Public is now smart to understand the false endorsements

At the same time , some big names have made ads as their full time business for making money . Its really sad coz none wants to watch stupid advertisements just for the heck of watching their favourite star endorsing an absolutely pathetic product . Big or small stars , for stupid ads , there is just one object that needs to be groped for ,and that is the "Remote" !

All in all , the advertising agencies are coming a long way and ad lovers like me and my pals are having wale of a time watching and buying well advertised products !

I couldn't agree more on the way television ads have come a loooooong way...Remember "Young India Baniyan", "Mere Motiyon se daant, Vicco Vajrdanti se" to today's mind-blowing innovative and creative ads..Seriously they make the product so much "wanted" that the consumer is lead to believe that they "must have it".
Every time I visit home, I grab the remote and surf the channels to watch ONLY the ads...with a celebrity in almost each one of them, the commercial turns out all the more enticing. Long live Youtube, cos even being so far frm home, i get to catch just abt any ad..Be it Dhoni, SRK or Kareena...
All in all a good observation in the blog...keep it up Ko..
