This ad sucks.......

Saw this ad on TV yesterday for the first time. Father teaching son to fly kite on the roof top. Mother hanging the laundry. Suddenly, she kicks the bucket (ok, she did not die, but just kicked the bucket!!).Father looks at the mother, nods. Some secret code, i guess. Mother smiles coyly (or at least tries to) and rushes inside. Father hands the boy the “dori”, follows the mother. He locks the door. And then, i found out it was an ad for nirodh condom!! What?! And the first thing that came to my mind was how they could leave the child alone to fly kite on the roof top unattended while they indulged in an afternoon/evening bout of passion. Child endangerment! Surely, not the kind of feeling the ad makers thought of invoking in people watching the ad. And i thought Indians never did “it” in broad daylight!

All the dumb serials on TV are turning dumber, if that is possible. So many illogical twists and turns. Enough to make you nauseated. But still, we go on watching them. Morons, all of us.
