If you are a TV buff and that too cartoon network/pogo/nick etc., you might have observed that certain advertisements are really cute and touching. The advertiser really knows the pulse of parents / children and get his product moving in the market very swiftly. However, some of the advertisements are disturbing. For eg. Britannia cakes advertisement wherein the mother and also IDLIES (Most favorite south Indian breakfast) are depicted in bad shape. I tried to send e mail to BRITANNIA INDUSTRIES as below. You may also watch advertisement and send similar comment.
" YOUR ADVERTISEMENT IN TV APPEARS TO BE CONVEYING VERY WRONG IMPRESSION ON THE YOUNG MINDS. AD WHEREIN THE MOTHER DENIES CHACOLATES AND GIVES IDLIES TO THE SON LOOKS LIKE A DEMON'. NEITHER THE MOTHER SHOULD BE DEPICTED IN SUCH A HORRIBLE MANNER NOR THE IDLIES SHOWN AS A VERY BAD FOOD. IT DOES NOT AUGUR WELL WITH OUR CULTURE TO SHOW MOTHER IN BAD SHAPE AND TRADITIONAL FOOD IN A POOR PERSPECTIVE. WHY DON'T YOU THINK POSITIVELY ABOUT BOTH"

Good that you observed the distaste in the advt of Britannia. You may write to them and also persuade others to boycott products of such companies who depict sacred things in poor light till such time they correct their mistakes
THANKS FOR TAKING TIME AND POSTING A COMMENT. I HOPE OTHERS WILL THINK POSITIVELY. I GOT A MAIL FROM BRITANIA STATING THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT.
