So you want to see the ad that reminds us all of inequality among the sexes? OK then, Here it is:
Be glad you’re not an Indian woman … Unless you are.
OK, some people have claimed that this ad is phony.
Others swear that it’s real.
For some reason, no one can tell what company the ad is promoting.
Regardless of whether or not it’s real, this ad is horrible on so many levels.
First of all, the message.
I did not choose my husband but I can choose my jewellery.
Are you kidding me?!
This is so shockingly offensive to women, it bears repeating.
This is so shockingly offensive to women.
Sure, you may know that women in India are basically chattel, whose fates are more often than not decided by men or elderly women who claim to know what’s best for them.
Just be glad you’re not a woman in India … unless of course, you are. In which case, we highly recommend moving to a better place.
There is so much more that is wrong and horrible with this ad. For now, we’ll just leave this where it is.
This ad actually ran – and it is a shame on advertising everywhere
Or, how to kill your public image
Worst genter stereotype ever?
Possibly the worst image and text printed in a publicity campaign for diamonds, ever
To many people, it is truly kind of shocking to think that the above photo and the following actually appeared together in a real ad campaign, published in major publications in large Metropolitan areas. I’m guessing that the publishers were going for the shock factor, both in terms of the horribly poor taste of the imagery, as well as the complete disregard for the beauty that is the English language.

artificial legs, and the integrity of the skin is very important.
this announcement, the beauty of the female Women’s Diamond is the beauty of the diamond, which suggests that the carving of old coal formed as a diamond is such a good thing, and it works, is a killer stereotype.
Now if only we could get some better writers up in that company, and possibly less chauvinist photographers and creatives, then maybe we could see an improvement in the quality of messaging that this horrible advertisement conveys.
Until then, we berate, scold and otherwise hold this ad’s proprietors in contempt of culture, class and good taste, and we penalize you 5 carats.
Horrible Advertising
