advertising retardness


Ads are the way the world learns new stuff every second of every day. But I am sure you have seen the wickedest ads here and there. And by that I referring to the ones that make you say "What the f***!!!" and then you talk about it and laugh for a long time to come.

Recently a friend of mine and I were out loafing in the city when we saw this small flyer up on a sidewalk wall. It read "I want to a car and a few computers for free. My contact number is . please". Are you flippin' kidding me?? Sure I want a new plane and my own island for free! Please! Gosh! think before you stick up flyers like these people! It just goes to show that either you are retarded or you are so jobless that even this seems like a stroke of genius! Look around you! This is Australia! They charge you for sauce that you want to dip your fries in! Nothing is free! DING DING DING!!! REALITY CHECK!!!

final destination : the end

According to recent movies, we are all either to die by an epidemic of natural disasters brought on us by our own ignorance, psychopathic killers who enjoy torturing people for their own pleasure, inevitable death as in the final destination series or the well told alien invasions. But what do you think will really happen? Each of these movies brings with it its own conspiracy theories and narratives. Not matter how cheesy these movies seem, they do instill fear to a extent. Even if it's very minute.

Imagine that none of the above is the cause for our extinction. No cosmic phenomenon, no world wars, nothing. We all live peaceful lives and draw out as much as we can out of each day. In the end, we die and reach the green fields of heaven. Where the sun never sets and there is endless, boundless spaces to run free. That my friends is mythological.

Who are we kidding? I watch a lot of horror movies and trust me when I say that even those there are many of us who will die content, a larger portion might end up facing the inevitable doom through a terrorist attack or a natural calamity or even an alien invasion. Insecurity prevails and fear is abundant. Live with it. The best you can hope for is a day which doesnt see crimson rivers flowing in some part of the world.

And that is the definition of mythology. Cheers.

why?

3 idiots was an awesome movie. That is my point of view. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Chetan Bhagat wrote a great book which was something new and different from regular reading material. But the whole controversy surrounding the movie and the book is pointless. There is so much more that the media and these individuals can cover and work on rather than fighting aimlessly about whether this movie is based on the book or not. We read the book. We saw the movie. It's done. Why the hell are these guys still fighting?

Our country is suffering from so much corruption and so many dejected lives that if a few select people, our so called "leaders", put in this much of a hullabaloo about issues that NEED to be sorted out first then we can hope ,at the very least , for better lives that so many require. Fighting over irrational things like "Oh my book is better than your movie" and vice versa is just mental instability. By the way, Bhagat has lost this enormous war and apparently can be sued if he is charged by the movie's production people.

How about the making a big deal about DGP SPS Rathore and what he did in 1990? Isn't that something worth fighting for? He was given a 6 month sentence. Even a juvenile caught for stealing and attempting a small robbery can get a worse punishment. This sadistic and twisted person was given bail on the first day by the court. Hopeless much?

This is just one incident. There are countless more. How about spending money to helping those who need it rather than funding nuclear weapons? Is the government preparing to defend a nation who's people's plight is not worth defending? We have riots and brutal battles being fought within that eventually our downfall will be our own cause. The nuclear weapons will most probably end up rotting and getting covered with cob webs someday then.

So Mr. Bhagat and Mr. Khan lets call it a day. What say?

We drive home
