Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention please. Can you tell me what are we looking at?

Voices in the audience Seems to me like a Billboard.

Congratulations! We have a genius here :P Of course it’s a Billboard. But there is something really ‘disturbing’ about this particular Billboard. Can you identify that please?

Voices in the audience: Ahhh… the guy is wearing a maroon shirt and the color maroon is so not the ‘in’ thing in summers.

Who the fudge are you? Deepak Perwani [Popular Designer] :@ Cant you see that the two supposed ‘Models’ are making stoooopid horny faces in a juice commercial?

Voices in the audience: Hmmmm? Yeah but I am sure that the photographer had something ‘creative’ in mind while shooting this one.

Oh yeah! He had something in mind alright :P But it wasn’t creative! I mean it’s a juice commercial for God sake. I don’t see no straws. I don’t see anyone sipping the ‘supposed’ refreshing juice from the tetra pack.

All I see is a woman with a stooopid horny expression holding the juice up to his ‘supposed’ boyfriends face and the guy is also making this same stoooopid constipated expression.

Voices in the audience Hold on now Mister blogger; and keep your ‘I can judge the creativity of a professional add agency because nobody can stop me bullshit to yourself.’

What ‘s your point?

Voices in the audience My point is; this concept must have been discussed and brainstormed hundreds times before it hit the billboard. Many expert professionals approved this photograph and if there was any conceptual blunder as you have whined, this add would have been rejected even in its initial phase. Kia samjhay?

My point exactly, this picture got approval of the so called pros :P and those idiots couldn’t identify the stoopid constipated expression on the guys face. Why would anybody buy this juice if they ever felt thirsty? But yeah if anyone is in a stooopid mood they will most definitely go for it.

Note: This Billboard has been planted all over Karachi. I don’t know about the rest of the country but I am sure the dwellers of Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta and Peshawar are observing the same stooopid problem.


PS: Thanks iMad for the pic

You know what? I had been wanting to do a post about the exact same picture on my blog for weeks now! I have to pass this lame excuse for an advertisement every freaking day on way to and back from work. The facial expressions are befitting some movie scene for gods sake. What on earth were they thinking when they approved this piece of @#!$!~

You know a week ago I was working on my company’s profile and whatever my poor designer used to come up with I rejected that and guided her how it can be better.

And it wasn’t only me but two other guys who did the same :P The question arises that why somebody dont ask them to take this embarrassing pic off and put a better one. Its almost a month now :P


عمار - aMmAr on 8 April, 2008 at 12:03 pm #

Thankyou Nikki, Raza, Ali Bhai and Ms. Beeca for your valuable feedback.


Raza on 8 April, 2008 at 9:01 pm #

عمار - aMmAr on 8 April, 2008 at 10:59 pm #

But I dont write for them :P

Ammar,learn to appreciate the bright side :) One pack works for the whole family,you don’t have to drink it, just place it near your cheek and it works.It is reusable,beat inflation in the summers.


Lubz on 9 April, 2008 at 12:05 am #

Its such a superb looking add, oh come on why you think its bad you got no taste :P


Sohaib Athar on 9 April, 2008 at 1:45 am #

Can’t you see… they are blind (look at the dark glasses) - such expressions are normal on blind people’s faces (remember Stevie Wonder?) - The girl is telling the boy what she is has (the juice (you pervert)) by touch, which probably means that either the boy can’t hear either, or the girl is mute.
Case solved?


Supersizeme on 9 April, 2008 at 5:54 am #

Hilarious!!

I agree, bahut mazay ka juice hai!! I miss Shezaaaan!! :(


Supersizeme on 9 April, 2008 at 6:05 am #
