The ads are really cool. Instead of expressing outrage at the ad agency, Italians would do well to banish Berlusconi from their midst, which they refuse to do. His Bunga Bunga parties are more demeaning to women than the ads.
Too much of super heroism in the brain which people mistake as creativity is the root cause. Creativity is positive in nature- never negative. Hence a genuine creative art will evoke happiness and awe. The ad evoked shrieks of distaste and repulsion. People like Vellanki and Pawar have to be sued for indiscriminate and deliberate maligning of people. This is a lesson to all so called creative genuises- your creativity ends where the other person's nose begins!
A perceptible decline in advertising is getting reflected in the eroding credibility of the ad agencies. Attempts to safeguard brand interests have led to gender discrimination. The increasing malfunctioning of these institutions and presence of pliable artists have led to a situation that people are fast loosing their faith in the ADVERTISING agencies.

Absolutely- creativity is being misconstrued as something that creates awe and shock and headlines...So much for advertising in India

The dirty ruthless reality behind creative advertising. I wonder if the 'outrage' in the west is because an Indian ad agency is involved? Their agencies do such outrageous stuff with impunity all the time. They have abused Indian map and Gandhi by showing our icons on footwears, girl's pubic area hair and what not? Why the moral hypocrisy over cheap advertising now over this?

Just because x did it I will also do it is a wrong notion which has to be erased. West can be hypocritical but then what happened to Indian sensibilities?
Most ad firms think they are creative, but Bobby and his team have gone overboard. It demeans woman and also should be prosecuted under the indian laws.
