Saw it - did it..

umm.. I have a pet peeve - and I have been trying so hard to get over it - but whenever I turn my thoughts away - there it is !

The topic in question is a mobile advert by a superstar of sorts. Just what is being communicated through that ad?

Is it that I will have the magical ability to get in touch with my friends from 10 years back? Or is it that the superstar has not bothered to contact his friends for more than 10 years.. or ohh! is it that with this sim - I will magically know the new numbers of my friends from 10 years back - or that they will retain the same number 10 years back - wait - where there mobiles back then?
I could go on and on with the ad trying to give a global look to the ad like having different religions - but let me not go there..Maybe the most pathetic shot had to be trying to talk to the spotlight man from a phone.. Umm.. wont it make more sense to do it when the guy is off duty - perhaps a more civilized convo might help? But a phone?!?! And does the superstar carry the numbers of all people on the shoot? Bah!

According to the ad makers - the idea was - "think of something - go for it- do it"... Methinks - I could do a better job at it..

Actually - I JUST did!:)
