It's been a month since I started driving to work (all the way across the god forsaken city of Bangalore) and Radio City keeps me company as I curse my way thru the insane traffic. Now, Radio City is infamous for its ads... both in quantity and quality and I want to share my personal favourites here.
1. UTI Bank (now, AXIS Bank):
(Male Voice): Doston... Bollywood ke woh kaun se shaks hain jo apne naam Yusuf se badal kar koi aur naam se mashoor hue? Jee haan, woh hain hamaare "Tragedy King" Dilip Kumar saab. Bilkul jaise UTI Bank ab bangaya AXIS Bank!
2. Ad for a Radio City show hosted by a poor RJ called Vasanthi:
(Female Voice): What do men want?
(Male Voice): More Toys... More Speed, More Money... MORE VASANTHI??
3. Ad for the same show:
(Male Voice): Wake up every morning with Sunshine Girl Vasanthi!!
This one always makes me laugh! No matter how bad the traffic jam.. no matter who cuts me off, I just can't help laughing at this one!! No offense, Vasanthi... and Good Luck UTI Bank!!
More to come...

Bah, And I thought UTI bank's name-change ads on TV are bad! Now they want to be "Tragedy King"??
P.S: Went through most of your blog after meeting you the other day. Wish I had found it sooner.
DV here: God knows the "excessive" screwed creativity is just too much to swallow. I positively feel proud about the ads we have seen in Singapore now....."Wake up evey morning with Vasanthi...." hehehehehehe....amazing... :-D
