Camlin’s new Permanent Marker Ad
This Ad is a parody on the Rudali custom in India. Hopefully this shameful and humiliating custom has by now joined the ranks of Sati and Child marriage in the dustbin of history where i fervently hope it will soon be joined by the likes of the caste system and female infanticide.
Anyway I thought this Ad was funny. Everyone i showed it to thought it was funny. But the question is why has Camlin not dared to put it on air in India. Perhaps they feel in their bones(that might be broken soon) that there are some people who have appointed themselves as guardians of public morality and humor who might not think it’s funny.

Mehak - As far as I know the said Ad is still very much on air. There was a bit off squambal in MSM and blogosphere…but I guess people have moved beyound it.

Ok i was under the impression that Camlin did not put this Ad on Indian TV.I also never saw it on TV and plus the small backgrounder in the beginning of the clip creates the impression that it is made for a foreign audience.
Anyways, sorry for the error.
