Yet another rant post!

I happened to be seeing this really pathetic excuse for what is supposed to be an advertisement. The basic idea is that some ugly looking cheap japanese bike just got itself an electric start capability.

Guess what the ad depicted?

The entire country is going about their work using the kick-pedal for their jobs. Like - a sardar at a dhaba is mixing buttermilk using the kick-pedal as the ladle; shoe-mendicants are sticking together soles of shoes and slippers and using the kick-pedal as the hammer; people are scratching their backs using this kick-pedal.

I barely managed to resist the temptation to barf at this excuse of an ad.

I wonder how did the marketing "Gurus" @ that company (oh I didn't tell which bike it was - TVS Star-City - as expected, an Indian company that probably hired a measly pipsqueaking miserable failure of an ad-manager) even manage to ok the budget for this stupidity.

What do the ad guys think their common idiot-box worshipping audiences are? Mindless and uncomprehending retards?

What kind of scoundrels are we electing? What kind of government sends its farmers 3 f***king rupees as compensation.

Unquotable and highly unparliamentary words come to mind which can't even being to quantify the anger I have for the retards we elect.

Contrast this with the hoopla that we give for hearing that Ambani is a millionaire. Beyond a particular point, this stupidity begins to abuse your sensibilities to such an extent that you really feel pained to continue to work in India.

I know, I know. Rather than cribbing, my dear friend RDX will ask me, what have I done to solve this problem. Well, I am going to caste my vote, and ensure that I tell other people to do so.

PLEASE PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. Ensure that spineless scoundrels like Chidambaram, MKK etc do not get elected to continue to abuse your senses.

Peace!
