kubrickian Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 What's up with these ads stereotyping South Indians on tv that I've been seeing lately and mocking them about their food habits, accent etc ? I wonder what would be the reaction if North Indians are stereotyped in ads as rapists and criminals, Muslims as terrorists, Gujaratis as money minded misers, Bongs as communist coolies etc. But that will never happen because these ads are made by North Indian losers themselves. Raj Thackeray is the best task master for these guys as he whoops their asses regularly and keeps them in line.
Trichromatic Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 egjamble? :dontknow: Center fresh (fruit?) kaisi jeebh laplapaayee ad?
DomainK Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Center fresh (fruit?) kaisi jeebh laplapaayee ad? Can you explain what's offensive in that? Or how they are stereotyped?
deathmonger Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Happy Holi one. Virat Kohli duplicate one. But they aren't offensive in any manner.
Rohit S. Ambani Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I don't think you should take all this too seriously, TV/Media have only Tamils and Punjabi's to make fun of, kinda Jews->Communism->Muslim phobia. Earlier Punjabis were target in Ads/movies now Tamils. They make fun of you guys because you have something to eat, not like hunger starved AP, MP, Rural Maharashtra, Rajasthan, UP, Bihar etc etc. Imagine same Ads in above Indian States scenerio, most likely ad will appear unrealistic. Subject has to be economically stable. Only ad filmed in above states will be for drought, malnourishment etc charity donation appeal. Also Tamils, Gujaratis and Punjabis are currently most popular on International stage. So many NRIs. Bengalis are Huge in number but they don't command respect anymore.

WTF did I just read? :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
BeautifulGame Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Are u refereing to Center fresh add? That was pretty funny add and as I a Tamil I don't see what exactly is offensive in that.
Raghav_12 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 :hatsoff: Your randomness makes you so entertaining. :haha: This is the quote I was looking for to describe him. :hatsoff: I really don't know from where he keeps coming with these ones.
SLICKR392 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Lol..never felt it offensive. What's the big deal? :idunno:
Ram Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I personally find the 'Appi Oli' ad hilairious.. Every time that guy says to the kid 'Sowth Yindiyan., No Oli', I cannot stop laughing. :hysterical: The guy in the ad is playing a mallu btw.
BeautifulGame Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I personally find the 'Appi Oli' ad hilairious.. Every time that guy says to the kid 'Sowth Yindiyan.' date= No Oli', I cannot stop laughing. :hysterical: The guy in the ad is playing a mallu btw. Any video link?
Precambrian Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 JbY3E0zpwQk Found it to be good in fact. The older guy has (initial) reservations abt gelling in, whereas his kid already has. And then he gives in and enjoys. Whats stereotypical in that? The centerfresh one was poor one. Unimaginative rehash of their older themes. But nothing much to really moan about.
