It seems some morons are playing with the sentiments of people on facebook. To promote their pages and profiles they circulate a disturbing picture of a baby and say facebook will donate x amount of dollars for every share and innocent people share it considering it to be a genuine thing. I still appreciate those who do that but for those who initiate those pics I don’t have any good words. If facebook wants to donate something then they are a big corporate giant and they can donate it without circulating disturbing images of any innocent child. Facebook can even use advertisement banners to invite people for direct donations or pages instead of using other profiles/pages.

The better way is to report these pictures to facebook or to send a request/protest messages to those who are doing it by following these profiles (if they are also not the victims of these fake picture thing).

Indeed this is a shameful way of marketing and promoting profiles and pages. Shame on those who do it.

Billboard placement from Pepsi makes me think that maybe they want one easy girl lying down on the floor in front of them instead of a Coca Cola family to have dinner with. It is admirable that the media planners are so honest about the brands core message i.e. easy sex over Coca Cola commitment. [...]

It’s strange how these lawn brands have tapped onto the minds of nutshells with their still trapped inside the box positioning. For example, it gets to be the season of lawn exhibitions and road turmoil when the birds of a feather flock together for the sake of trend so that they get to carry the [...]

McDonalds’ Specialty Coffee, now is that coffee? Well maybe, depends on your conditioned taste for the beverage. However, their campaign these days is quite eye catching in terms of the display of coffee variants they have to offer, at the same time capitalising on the mindset of most local consumers about coffee who think that [...]

Rocky Agrawal has pointed out something very astute in a post from five days ago on Venture Beat: Google’s method for calculating the number of registrants and users of its social networking service Google+ is severely flawed. For instance, it can’t and shouldn’t count as registration for Google+ if you’re forced to do so while [...]

So I finally got down to reading an article by Sahlique Sultan titled “Electrifying the Auto Industry” which talks about the auto industry, the surprising claim that EV’s (Electric Vehicles) came before ICE (internal combustion engine) ones and what the auto companies need to do to create a more (lets say) relevant design for the [...]

First uncovered by Aamir Atta, Mobilink is caught copying. The whole concept of their latest and largely acclaimed TVC is very similar to an old AT&T commercial or you can say it is fully copied.

This is not the first time a copy act from cellular operators have come into notice, to name a few, we have had Jazz Jazba logo being copied and the ripped-off Djuice Revamp promotional video.

The two videos – Lack of Creativity or What? You decide.

Original – AT&T Commercial

The placement of a Hermes (handbag retailer) billboard under a Siemens logo has stirred anger and controversy with the mullah party near Two Swords in Clifton, Karachi. When asked why the placement upset them, the mullah’s shyly neglected the clarify the issue. Personally I see nothing wrong with it, its just Hermes appearing under Siemens [...]
