It has been two silly months for the Indian advertising space!!
Everyone makes mistakes - but enormous mistakes do stand out to a very great extent!!
If the mistake concerns India and Pakistan, the less said the better!!
On 24th Jan 2010, on the National Girl Child Day, a full page advertisement in a major newspaper showed the ex-chief of the Pakistan Air Force along with other Indian politicians and celebrity icons - urging the Indians to save their girl child!!
This advertisement did raise a huge hue and cry in the media!!
If this was not enough, an advertisement in today's newspaper - by Indian Railways - showed Delhi in Pakistan!! Other Indian cities were also out of place!!
It's high time advertisers take due care in releasing advertisements with such critical and important content!!
Advertising Goof Ups
