In the last year, the number of fairness cream commercials seemed to have increased tenfold on television. What irks me is that the movie actors and actresses endorse these products and claim that people will become fairer by several shades if they use the creams. One commercial alluded to an interview candidate landing a job because of the fairness cream !?! I can't imagine they actually work and if they do, who knows what kind of chemicals are in them. It's seems irresponsible to advertise these products. Commercials make huge claims that are misleading, I guess it's the same in other countries but I think they stretch the truth far too much here. Complan will apparently make kids taller and they will have more stamina than Sachin T if they drink it daily. Garnier's Fructis shampoo will make your hair stronger and it will stop falling out. Lately, body sprays for men have been very popular and the commercials are pretty riske (can't find the accent over the "e"). All are not bad, some are entertaining. Last year, they used to have these amusing condom commercials but they have gone off air recently. My favourite are the Tata Docomo commercials, I love the one with the mother cutting vegetables with the subrapatham playing in the background, her daughter lifts her shirt to show this huge tatoo on her back and the mother looks in horror but says "very nice" to her daughter. They have a couple different versions of these and they crack me up every time.
Completely off-topic but there are plenty of tennis fans here, why are they bumping the Wimbledon off air in favour of FIFA and for FIFA pre-shows?!? There are enough channels and they can air both. Nadal was trailing and in trouble in the 2nd round and it was not important enough to air?!? Frustrating...
