This is something I have been wanting to write for a long time. At least, a part of it. I would like to share with you two advertisements, one which is my favorite and the other which I hate the most!!
1.Harpic
Yeah! I am referring to the one in which a guy goes door to door cleaning toilets! I don’t know why they have advertisements like these. Imagine having to see this when you are eating… Yuck!!
2.Vodafone
Vodafone ads never ceases to amaze us. No one would have forgotten the girl with the dog. The cute white people of the new vodafone ads have achieved more glamour than the IPL players themselves. My neighbour has a boy who is in Kindergarten. I don’t think he understands cricket. But he watches IPL with his father and laughs with the vodafone people. I recieved a forwarded message this evening. I’ll list some of the content here. (The author does not bear responsibility for what is mentioned below).
The cute white people are named zoo-zoo. Vodafone has made 30 ads at 30 crores featuring this zoo-zoos. Already 15 has been released. Rest will be released between the IPL matches. Little known is the fact that zoo-zoos are not animation. They are actually humans inside costumes. They are all females who are short and thin and they were selected from drama theatres in and around Mumbai.
Are they really girls?? Doesn’t look so.. How can they smile and do other facial expressions inside these costumes??
Anyway they are very good ads.. Good thing they did 30 ads. They can change each one by the time one gets bored seeing them.
“never seizes to amaze us”
i think you mean ceases.
But yes, i love the ads too. Nowhere close to the old hutch doggie ads though
@ranjith thanks for pointing out the mistake.
In that case, “Vodafone ads never ‘cease’ to amaze us” he he..
total cost was 3 crores, not 30 and the girls were from South Africa….cheers, Soham
