Surrogate Advertising - Ajay Devgn - Vimal Pan Masala.

 

15/05/19 

Ajay Devgn and other film stars agreed are smart but many times try to be over smart. Is Ajay Devgn telling us that he is not aware of the concept called surrogate advertising? Surrogate advertising is promoting an innocuous product but actually pitching for a product that can't be advertised through mass media vehicles like TV, radio, and print advertising.

And like butter does melt in my mouth he says if the company is also selling other (tobacco) related products, I don't know what to do about it. Come on Ajay Devgn you are not a child. If you really Care, quit promoting Vimal Pan Masala. But for god's sake don't get so righteous. It does not suit your fraternity. We all know 'that it is all about money, honey

Kent Ro Tv Ad - Hema Malini - Common sense is not common

April 10th, 2019

This is the height of narcissism and fooling oneself. Hemamalini aged 71 acts as a mother to a Kid aged around 6 to 7 years old in an advertisement. Height of ridiculousness. Agreed that Hemamalini is a celebrity but should an advertising agency stoop to that level that their advertising campaign becomes a laughing stock?

comments: 

Siddharth Sai: Heroes of that age still act as bachelors in movie

Shakuntala Kuchibhotla: I agree.

Rohini Pisupati: Exactly my thoughts...neither the actor nor the company thought of their own credibility before doing this...laughing stock, yes of course!

Jyothi Potluri: Where in the advertisement does the young girl indicate Hemamalini is her mom??? All the young girl said was - “my mom says...” and there are 4 other kids in the same room. It is all in ones’ imagination I suppose and in my imagination, the beautiful lady who walks in at the end can be a nanny to all those kids 😜 or grandma who is babysitting

Vijay Singh: Jyothi Potluri yes correct.

Anil Ramesh: Sure, that is the beauty of the advertisement, you can Interpret it the way you want. You interpreted it as a grandmother, but as there is no empirical proof one way or the other I interpreted it the other way and assumed her to be a mother. Like they say, Jo, to every man and woman as they feel and like.

Rajkumar Selvaraj: Actually my wife pointed it out to me.in fact, I too gave the same interpretation that Jyothi Potluri has given. 

Anil Ramesh: Good for you Rajkumar Selvaraj

Rajkumar Selvaraj: Anil, they heard you. Kent does not show the kid for the past few days!

Thumbs Down to Livspace ad campaign - Down with stereotypes and Stereotyping

A big thumbs down for Livspace. Their latest ad is pretty dumb, to say the least.

They have Anuskha and Virat Kohli as models and what do they do? Portray Virat Kohli as the bumbling Sardarji.

Come on Livspace. It is 2022 and it is time to stop reinforcing old Stereotypes. We don't do Sardarji jokes any longer, anywhere.

And let us not forget that one of our brilliant finance ministers and two-term Prime minister was a Sardar - Man Mohan Singh. And one of our most brilliant economists was another Sardar - Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Down with stereotypes and Stereotyping!
