I have been suffering from a weird form of PMS for sometime now. For the ignorant, PMS means Pre- Menstrual Syndrome. Now, before you run away from the blog thinking that I am going to go in depth about the female reproductive system and the menstrual cycle, look again. I wonder why a man who finds EVERYTHING hot about a female, just cannot accept the fact that girls have periods period!
Well, the last week has been filled with horrible mood swings and I seem to be hating EVERYTHING that there is to love or hate in this world. Last Sunday, I went to Titan Eye+ to buy me (and my whole family of four) new frames. I looked at nearly 50 pairs and I positively hated all of them. By the end of the day I was grumbling about me not caring about spectacles anymore - I wear contact lens most of the time anyway. This is not like the usual me. The usual me would have liked 5-10 pairs and would be stuck thinking about which one to buy. I also had an episode where I went to a "Transitions" store and he showed me unbranded frames for 3k. I literally sniggered and spat like a cat. I went to the point of making the shopkeeper show me ALL the frames in the store and then walked out telling him that they weren't worth the money.
That felt good really.
PMS has a weird way of making me feel ruthless. I didn't have a problem when I was living alone but now civilization which doesn't leave me alone these days, has to face the brunt of my raging hormones. The victims, more than often are my dad, mom and sis.
During my PMS, even TV irritates and I am quite unappreciative of things, especially advertisements.
Talking about ads, have you watched the new Pulsar Ad? If you didn't, you can watch it here.
Well, I like the whole idea of the ad, but what is with the ad makers wanting to make that actor guy look like a drug dealer? I mean, that banker woman LIKES this bank robber?!! What's with the nasty attitude? He can't even comb his hair proper. I HATE his hair style, he might have looked a little better if he was given proper hair and longer pants. Speaking of which - what's with those pants?? Did they take a spare set from shahrukh khan from Rab Ne Banadi Jodi?!
I think that when an ad (or a movie or anything) is made around a negative character, it is important to make him endearing. To do that, the actor NECESSARILY has to be hot. Remember Leonardo dicaprio from "Catch me if you can"?
Sorry for being biased against weird looking guys, but I am not watching ads to look at geeks wooing bombshells. If guys want cute girls, I want hot guys! Here, the ad tries to make the character slightly acceptable by showing the weirdo put a penny in a child's piggy bank. But come on!! I don't care if you donate a penny out of stolen money!
At the end, the actual product, The Pulsar got 2 seconds of screen time. I loved the way the bike looked - wish they had shown it longer.
The ad according to me would have done better with a cuter guy and a long zoom onto the new pulsar.

Well, what can I say? It is tough to please a PMSing bitch!

Hi Nicky,
ReplyDeleteYou Rock Girl!!!!
I have been sort of following your blogs on
and off, but 1 thing I like about your writing
is the forthright and straightforward manner
in which you put things which other people
would normally bypass, be it PMS or BDSM Collar
Vs Mangalsutra.
Happy Blogging!!!
Regards,
Sujan
I like you being straight forward. I know about the PMS troubles, can be real hard on some.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pulsar ad it sucks big time.
hmmm PMS.... I really don knoe about it, but i like the way you put it....
ReplyDeleteI liked the pulsar ad, I was not zooming on cool dude but i was watching the banker girl, she was good enough.... and pulsar was also good....too
keep blogging
Well any publicity is good publicity. If the guy hadn't been weird looking, you wouldn't have write about it here.
ReplyDeleteThere is seldom any art that does not have a certain cockiness about it.
Well, the ad is certainly different from the run of the mill sad ass ads isn't it? And who gives a shit about the bike?
ReplyDeleteReal men ride the Bullets and the Yamaha's....:)
