Top 10 dumbest Indian ad themes on television
So I was watching a program on TV, when all of a sudden the commercials start boring me. Sure, some ads can be creative and cool. But the rest of them are pretty meh. Heck, some of them are pretty stupid if you think about it. I'm not going to mention any company names because I mean no disrespect, but I will talk about the themes. They're plain ridiculous! I wanted to do this top 10 list, so here you go:
#10: Potato chips; Eating the last chip
I call it bs because: Go ahead. Open that pack. You're not going to get the last chip. When your packet's almost empty, all you get is "powder".
#9: Doing crazy stunts after drinking a soft drink
I call it bs because: Even Goofy wouldn't do anything this stupid!
#8: Wearing a vest makes you manly, it literally morphs you into a celebrity when you wear it, and when you remove it, it changes you back to the worthless being that you are
I call it bs because: That's freaky!
#7: Silky shiny smooth hair
I call it bs because: Silky...shiny...smooth, long hair blowing in the wind? I'm sure that it's so smooth that it won't get caught in something, like a branch!
#6: Celebrity explains to you what a toothpaste does
I call it bs because: We already know what the toothpaste does, don't make it more complicated!
#5: Celebrity starts dancing because a detergent soap just made your shirt whiter
I call it bs because: Who gives a shit? Bollywood celebrities dance at anything. It's a cliche.
#4: Hi tech futuristic holographic displays at a laboratory for testing the benefits of a health drink on children
I call it bs because: Simply pressing your finger on a table (with nothing on it) shows you statistics on a holographic screen? What will they think of next?
Now we get to the dumbest ones:
#3: Fairness cream literally turns your dark skin to white
I call it bs because: I'm not doubting the power of fairness cream. We know that even the ugliest zombified undead girl can turn into a disney princess with it's incredible power. All I'm saying is that get rid of the "from black to white" crap. If this was shown abroad, they'd ban it for being racist.
#2: Comparing a dalmatian's spots to the black spots on your face
I call it bs because: Whaaaaaat?!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you the dumbest theme not just in India, but everywhere!
#1: Angels literally fall from the heavens just because you sprayed yourself with deodrant!
I call it bs because: Don't tell me you fell for that! Oh no, you didn't! But still, there are people out there...it's so stupid that I can't say anything more. If you believed it, you need help, friend!
So that was my top 10 list. I hope you enjoyed reading it. I know I did writing it.
Later!

Vacation time
I don't know. I guess I'm just gonna write whatever I feel like here. Now that my holidays have started I've been busy checking out E3 2009 videos from Gametrailers and watching "The All new Batman Adventures" (TANBA), a show that took place after Batman: The Animated Series and I doubt, was ever shown in India. I remember watching the Gamespot review of Batman Vengeance. I remember enjoying the PC version. I was curious about it when I had seen it on Ubisoft's website before it was released. Then I had watched the trailer, and was like, man I gotta play this game! And now while watching TANBA, it brings back memories of Batman Vengeance. The artwork, character styles, voice acting, everything is just like the series.
I plan to watch The Batman after that. I did watch a couple of episodes, read a few issues, etc, but the character design felt weird at first. The characters were redesigned. Take a look at Joker:
Creepy no?
I heard that the Wolverine movie would be released on the 19th here. Man, there's probably gonna be a lot of crowd. (Yash, remember when we had gone to watch Dark Knight on the first day?) I hope they're still showing the Watchmen movie here. Friends here talking more about Angels and Demons but for me, Watchmen movie gets a higher priority than Angels and Demons. I do wanna watch it. Indian Express's Pune Newsline isn't of much help showing movie lists.
Ah, now that the holidays are here, I better start working on RTFS Adventure 2 and better get that tablet fixed. Stupid loose connection problem. Delayed thanks to Kunal. Bah!
