Advertisements

I really like some advertisements. These include (non-exhaustive list; i'll keep adding more):

Sony VAIO Pocket PC: This girl stuffs the netbook in her jeans' rear pocket. As she walks, the netbook starts sliding out. She stops and stuffs it back in. She starts walking again and the bloody laptop starts to slide out again, inch by inch. And guess what - they never show the girl's face. The camera just follows her from behind as she walks. Guess the auditions were for the baggage and not the looks!

Bajaj XCD 135: Two lovely sisters are engaged in a nasty catfight. They thrash, kick and throw each other around - in one sequence you almost wish they made out. Eventually one of them goes out cold, and the 'winner' puts on her jacket and moves out the front door. A man is waiting outside, on his XCD 135 bike. As they zip off, the bike's features are narrated - "135 cc. Great pickup. Alloy wheels. Disc brakes. But only one rear seat."

Tata Safari DICOR: This ad was MADE for me. With shots of a man on a vacation, in the middle of nowhere (snow-covered mountains, tall cliffs, underwater caves, volcanic hot springs, jungles, waterfalls, what not), with no second person in sight, it asks a fundamental question - "If you looked back on your life, what would you remember? The corner office? The corporate powerplays? The VIP lounge? What would you remember?" Safari DICOR. Reclaim your life.
