What the hell is happening to Indian Print ads?

I saw these 2 ads today in the Economic Times:

Huh???!!

So, a reputed, well known and respected Company like Canara Robeco should advise Indians that they should follow their Grandmother who ‘hoarded’ GOLD?

Is that the best advice to give to citizens of the most promising economy of the world????

Is this what Pranab Mukerjee wants? That national and state owned banks ask consumers to hoard gold????

Check this next one out

Check out the copy:

“This ad attempts to make the talk about China growing faster than India real and personal”

So, to make India thrive, we should MARRY CHINESE GIRLS and ‘IMPORT’ them?????

And HOW will that help?

– will these girls bring yuans for us in dowry??

– will they start noodle making in India??

– will they start a new political  party and stand for elections?

– will they teach us Indians to make cheap, unreliable, spurious goods?

What is this Josy Paul trying to say?????!!!!

Now check out the second line that makes me laugh and laugh and laugh and also proves to me why Indian advertising firms are full of SHITheads:

“Like inter-caste marriage, it spreads greater understanding. And liberates us to grow organically by looking outside”

“….Liberates us to grow organically by looking outside”!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone explain to me = what the FUCK this means?????

Oh boy!

I’m throwing up. Can someone explain to me what has happened to Indian standards of print advertising??

I think this is a signal that the end is near. Of ad agencies and the men who run them.

  1. Yeh, the end is for sure. Even if it might NOT be that near, over time it will. In US, forrester says digital will cross print+tv in 2016. Eventually everyone will be disrupted by digital. In india, 500 million people will come online from smartphones in the next decade.

  2. End of Print Media will come only when People stop reading  Newspapers and Print Magazines, which is not going to happen in India for another 100 years. 

  3. i particularly said ‘of ad agencies and the men who run them’

  4. with imported chinese wives …. after an italian remote control we can now look forward to a chinese one in delhi. we indians love everything foreign 🙂
