The recent Bajaj Pulsar is all about taking that mean machine to the max and veiled riders take it to all sorts of places, some which are not even showcased in Mithun or Rajni movies. The stunts are enough to ensure a straight ticket to the X Games..a good idea...now that the Hockey team is out in any case.
However, However the ad starts with a rider (pun fully intended)...The stunts in the commercial to follow are performed by trained personnel, do not attempt these at home or even on the road.
OK lets get something straight...WHY SHOW THE STUNTS IF I SHOULDN'T FRIGGIN ATTEMPT THEM.
The damned riders do things on screen with machines...some of which are actually CGI, which even Optimus Prime wouldn't do without complete insurance.
Bike ads are becoming increasingly inane...another prime example being..the one where some engineering graduate attains Nirvana at a construction site and drops a foreign job to take the Indian one. Mein Aah Rahan hoon India...Toh hum kya kare? aur yeh ghatiya gaadi aur tumara connection kya hain? Aur tumare bakwaas gaadi ke peeche woh paanch vaddi gaddi kiske hain?
Hows about a bike ad where there's this biker sipping on whiskey, gets into a fight with other bikers and belts 'em in a race. oh wait Thums Up already did that.
Lewis Black, the comedian came up with a good one. Three rabbits are sittign on a log and one of them goes home and commits suicide. "Buy a bike".

yipeeeeeeeeee! You are writing again... really glad to see that. But i think the entry would have been more powerful with other absurd adds, like when they tell you that if you get a bike you get the skimpy clad women as well... and what about the sexual imagiary... Since you were talking about bikes the most interesting aspect i see is that all vehicle adds are completely absurd and becoming more so with each passing day... Could have been worked on...
my job is to critique cant give simple praise without criticising.
love
Correction the skimpy clad women come with whatever you buy as long as you buy it... phones, television, fridge, biscuit, cold drink or even ice cream etc. Also the marital or family bliss, unlike any other that one gets once the person has bought whatever it is that the advertisers are selling :) I think i find that the most repulsive.
