I am afraid that one of these days I am going to find myself in an Electronics store shopping for a new TV. I am pretty sure I am going to throw something heavy and handy at it pretty soon. It's these stupid ads again!

First, it is the new installment of that "मीठेमे मीठा हो जाए". I don't think the ad is as innocent as it looks. And if I am right about it, then the person who thought this up should be kicked 100 times! This is an ad for a chocolate, not for a condom, you moron! And don't get me started on their earlier ad. I always wished I could somehow reach through the television and whack that stupid arrogant kid who tastes the chocolate just to ensure that no one else wants it.

Then there is an ad from Nokia, one by Fanta (an animated girl!), one with Priyanka Chopra in outrageous spinach and ice-cream costumes (I am usually so busy fuming at this ad that I never notice which refrigerator it is promoting!) and the "Burrr" ad from Coke.

I feel sad for the person who has thought up the current ads for the Havells fans. The concept is good but so poorly executed that I suspect they were operating on a shoe-string budget which ran out smack in the middle of the ad shooting! :-(
