The following is what Focuss remarked on Simla while we were at a recent bday bash--

"Dogra's smile can be integrated as it increases only infinitesimally"

A few days back, I came across the following ad of the Deccan Chronicle on Bhaand's blog


AD
BC
two letters can define an era..

I was instantly hit upon by a couple of similarly brilliant ads. A few years back when the anti-smoking campaign was its peak in New York, a NGO had the following as its tag line--
"Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray" !!

Another one, which I guess can be found on our LAN under the tag- "Banned Commercials" is probably the most well thought out ad ever. The ad starts of with a diminutive 10yr old trying his best to reach the Coke counter of a soft drinking vending machine.After hajaar fight he finally manages to get one diet coke can. Surprisingly he again puts the same amount of fight to get another coke. Up till this point you get the feel that its ad ad for the Coke group but.... Then the child puts both the cans on the ground and stands atop them so that he could now reach the Pepsi dispensing counter which actually was above the coke counter.!!!!!
