summer vacations '08

Here i am at home having no worthwhile tym pass to keep myself busy.Yes its tht tym of the year wen i redefine my LSS(life support system) frm cigarettes and cs to tv and the net.While my mom is still contemplating on getting a tata sky i am still left with the 20 odd sorry ass free to air channels to watch and kill tym.Its ok though coz this tym the cable op has taken some sympathy to my condition n allows set max to b telecast jus during the IPL matches.So that keeps me occupied for quite a bit.The interstin part though is nothing pertaining to the cricket mathces being played.Its the ads tht r shown n between overs;and interestingly they dont annoy me as much as they used to some tym back.Finally thers some brain quotient there to the ads n i am impressd .Quite a few ads caught my attention n ere are a few u just must not miss this summer.

1.Vodafone-they are back at it n they are better than ever .The kid and the dog are always a hit foemula.

2.citibank-yes,the one with metro citi card with that awwwsome song "jhoom jhoom"(kailash kher the vocals i guess.the ad totally captures the essence of dilli with all people that are shown swinging side to side.the other citibank ads are nice too,but this one was special.

3.havells-i kno,surprise inclusion,the one with the "bijli" girl faintin n havells fans savin it.its a gud play,for such an obscure product comin up wid a fancy idea is always tough but this one has done the job.

4.slice-this is wat celebrity endorsement should be all about.If you manage to get your audience to pay attention to the star you have sold the product and katrina looks absolutely DDG.

5.Mcdonalds-the one with the nutty rockstar,nothin new added to the theme .its the same old McD ad but the rockstar has done a briliant job .wonder where they found him.

6.Godrej-the good morning sir ad,abstract theme where godrej's planned to get some brand recognition revitalised,catches your attention the first tym you watch it.

7.sunsilk-the ad in which priyanka chopra stars,nothing special except the music.well shot ad.

8.brittania good day-the ad in which the tte goes bonkers.awwsome jig he goes into.

9.Airtel-madhavan and vidya balan star in this one.get the message across quite nicely

10.xcd-125cc-the one which the 2 guys meet at a signal n discuss their respective bikes,well thought of.

11.onida xaria-although the conception of the ad is pathetic ,the haunting voice of the lady in bacground catches your attention(well all she says is aaja)

12.motoyuva-the ad in which dad imitates son.......well made.

13.virgin mobiles-yes,the one where mahalingam calls candy foxxx,hilarious script.....i wonder who wrote it.

13.tata sky active whizkids-dad n son on learning,watch out for the part where the kid cries n dad licks lollipop......funny funny funny.
well thats all that i could recall,but some ad campaigns still piss me off,ne beauty cream,the cola ads have dropped their standards big tym,soaps,kingfisher,modular switches and pan masala ones.
before all that my favourite ad of 2008 would most definitely be the mintrox candy ad,masterpiece.

more of wat i hv been upto during the holidays in the next post........
