"THE AD"

I have always been a critic, but this one blew my brain off.

Recently, an ad has started to show up on TV. A person dressed in casuals?, formals?, well I don't know really what !! ... He is wearing a formal shirt, jeans, sneakers, a cap and icing on the cake, A TIE !! This guy is stranded in a desert and asks a guy for a ride. The guy lets him in and right then he starts talking about his company controlling the stock broking system software and informs him of a stock market crash !! Apparently, the guy giving him a ride is an investment banker !! He rashly pulls his car over in shock and then our "HERO" starts talking about how his company develops software for car safety and informs the banker that he is out of gas !! ... Is the driver blind that he needs a consultant to tell him that???

Best part of all, he gets off at a place where there is a chopper waiting for him. He says "I am going abroad for a Life sciences project." GIVE ME A BREAK !! ...

To catch a chopper, this software consultant (WHO IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT - God knows doing what !!) needs a ride. The chopper can't pick him from the place where he was stranded? Which company flies its consultants abroad in a chopper for any project especially when he is dressed in the weirdest attire ever possible?
I can't believe that the people who brain stormed to get this concept out to the market got paid !! How can a huge firm like that make such an ad which makes no sense whatsoever?

Westernisation

One feature in NAT-GEO about outsourcing and call centers was featuring a lady in her mid 40s. She was definitely Indian. But she passes a statement. "i was never much of an Indian because i have been following woodstock and beatles". Now my first question. What the **** does she mean? Second question. All the other rockers in India (she doesn't have any idea of the count), are not Indians? What is the big deal if you can speak in an American accent? You cant understand nuts about Indian culture. These people are the ones who bring shame to India.
