Annoying ads

Axe:
Seems women from all over the world will follow you if you marinate in this perfume. Will Cameron Diaz come/ Will Angelina Jolie come seeking you? Atleast will your own lover come? Hmmm, hope we could have gifted one 2 Devdas so that Paro and he would have stayed happily ever after.
Lux: Seems you don't need any lights if you bathe in dis soap; provides your skin dat much glow. All Tamil Nadu households and industries too MUST use Lux and stop cursing Amma for unscheduled power cuts

Colgate: Does your toothpaste have salt content in it? So that we can abolish the phrase 'swwet-toothed' and coin a new phrase 'salt-toothed'!

Pommys Nighties: Dharidram pidicha vilambaram. Seems people will stop fighting if they see a lady clad in this brand of nighty. As if it was woven listening to Bahudaari raga that evokes calmness! Please send a pack of this stupid nighties to Iraq, Afghan, Indo-Pak border, etc...

All the sanitary napkins' ads: These will boost your confidence and let your dream take wings - like you can jump a fence for cricket match, you can win dancing competition, you can swim/ride a bike, you can sleep in whatever position you want... Oh plsssss - sanitary pads were not even heard of in the days of Capt Lakshmi Sahagal/Amelia Earhart/Rukmini Devi Arundale.

But, a few likes also: the UNICEF sponsored ad on anemia awareness among menstruating women. Applause for the ad coz most of those women get just plain rice wid a 'summar' curry and are treated like untouchables being given a separate plate/tumbler and no pillow, bla bla... Yes we need a good food & good sleep to enjoy the monthly boon bestowed to us women :)
