the agency that does the charagh din tv commercials deserves to be shot. seriously. it’s one thing to sell fuck-ugly shirts, but something else altogether to torture people with crappy ads.
watch this, and take the test that follows:
question: how the fuck is that supposed to save the planet?

if you’d like to submit an essay answer, watch all their tv spots.
interesting fact: charagh din is an anagram of chandigarh. coincidence? hmmm….
very nice! high five!
ever had one of those failed high fives? where your hands miss each other completely? or worse, your thumbs meet and get locked together…
if you think you have a bad time, ryan seacrest had it much worse when he tried high-fiving a blind guy on american idol last week.
and to celebrate the occasion, a blind-guy joke:
q: why does stevie wonder sway his head from side to side while singing?
a: he’s trying to find the microphone.
snap my picture!!!
anyone been watching utv world movies? there are certain things about it that bug me to no end… conceptually, it’s a good idea. international films, 24 hours a day. with a bit of hollywood thrown in.
but really, 6 movies a day, including repeats? and a name that’s a rip off of two rival channels? and unnecessary censoring? and english subtitles on english films? and incorrect ones, at that?
i was watching scary movie 2 the other night, and there’s this one bit that’s a spoof on charlie’s angels. you know the bit with the prodigy’s smack my bitch up. that’s right… censored lyrical subtitles: snap my picture!
icontrol: the tv is your masseur
mtnl has just launched its version of tivo, called icontrol. with a slogan that is typically sarkari in more ways than one: “tv is servant.” and what does this servant do? besides recording your programs, it even offers maalish services.
that’s right… dth and regular cable guys don’t give you that, do they?
