So you want to see the ad that reminds us all of inequality among the sexes? OK then, Here it is:
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.
Horrible Advertising
