are advertisements getting absurd?

Dear Vikas,

What is the difference between an advertisement to a naked insane streaker running across a cricket or football field?...is a question that arises in my mind, to your debated point.

We must have capacity to differentiate information giving from simply drawing attention someway. I am sure there are many better ways to even advertise, you may agree. 

A cement advt has a women in swim suit, why need a swimsuit lady show value fo cemnet

Why do we need a lady scantily clad to show importance of wash basin and bathing tub

This not advertisement it is bordering pronography  

Such Ads have become a menace these days. Women / women-groups should protest. All directions, directly or indirectly are towards women / women bodies to augment sales of an item ... quite often items offered in the Ads have no connection with women.

These people know  sales ... only sales.. sales of commodities ... and in the process ... make "women and children a commodity" ... all are saleable ... !! (( This is 'consumerism' .. stupid .. U .. dont know .. ? ))

For escalation of sales, the ad agencies ( copy writers, art directors, artists etc ) are using women and children to convey "sensuous" materials. The product owner company is not only looting our pockets but also damaging the delicate fibres of our society. The damages are two fold.

Why censor board, there is a Body of Ad-makers who self regulate themselves. What for they exist - only to look after their revenues ? Or to negotiate two conflicting Ads where interests of two members clash ?

As a 'copy writer' U know that such ads are targeted towards the "decession maker" of a house-hold which is generally the 'male-member' - in some cases the children also have a say what is to be purchased or what may be the soft drinks. And .... they fall prey to the Ads .. some feel-good picture ... feelings ... cheap invitations ... etc ... etc .... !!

We should completely ignore the product or the Brand which utilizes cheap 'materials' for their ads. That only may be the 'reward' for the Brand and brand-owners.

You have rightly said that ads relating to AIDS awareness or Family Planning may not fall under these category.

these ads are nothing but absurd and irritating. instead of making the consumers buy it makes aversion towards the product. some of the ads can't be seen with family people because they are so vulgar for ex axe ad. they should be banned at once

 They are all misleading  youngsters. I am against these sort of advertisements.

<p>Definately as these types of AD are bringing vulgarity in the society. To create a mind awareness and get the AD remembered by the viewers, they are gambling with the peace of the society though maybe the impact wont be in present  but obviously it will be in future. The types of AD will simply help to create the culture of American country which is totally reverse in comparison to our Country when everyone has a respect of others and women are more safe. In short it is spoiling the environment and culture of the country in the name of AD for selling products/services.

The reasons for such advts is there is nothing in the product to be highlighted. Average products and services get promoted by glamour. And such advts will fade away soon and definitely will not result in higher sales.

If companies want to sell their products it should focus on the product and its features and benefits.

Obviously , without any doubt. The part of product is least and the part of women organ is most in an AD nowadays. Ultimately our society is affected as during a program/ serial/ picture all family members are watching together. This OPEN AD, breaks barriers of Respect in family & society.

People react as per Models least covering cloth instead of reacting to message from AD, People make up themselves as per model. The result is,  what will happen if we cut a lemon on a dinning table. All will have water in mouth. Likewise, people use to look with dirty eyes and naked thoughts. Not only this, nowadays communication is very fast so such messages are spread in micro second.

The Result is, Society is degraded,spoiled,vulgarized and uncalculative loss takes place which cannot be recovered later on for any cost.

ya i am agree with you ads are gettng absurd, there is ad of wil stone perfume it is very vulgour. and there are so many such ads which need to be banned.coz these ads are shown on TV and when whole family watches these ads they feel to be embarrassed, so censor boards shud take strict actions against these ads.

Very purpose of ads are to capture the mind in a second. It does it otherwise we will not discuss it. Ads are so impulsive that make us to talk about that means it reaches the audience. For a businessmen it does the job but for a social worker or even a spiritual pursuer it is disgusting /explorable. Decide the purpose for which the ads are used.

We can also highlight, in this context, some ads created uproar among religious minds.

I feel it is a cheap way of getting attention and such ads also have a negative impact on the brand, there are more creative ways which can make advertisements more interesting and memorable...

Yes censor board shuould pay attention to these types of ideas. The double meaning dialogues in the film or the double meaning one liners of the advertisements are only to get your attention and nothing else. This is only cheap publicity. The limit should be set by the censor board clearly and unambiguously and beyond any shadow of doubt. The ones who crosses the limits should be adequately punished. Those who say we are mature enough to make a differentiation between a good and a bad advertisement than let me say these type of ads are not ment for you people like you. It is for the vulnerable group of our society. And it is the moral responbility of the state to teach its vulnerable group the right lesson. By vulnerable group what I mean you people all know well.
