Game Shows Mania

I just could'nt stop my fingers typing this post.

Of late it has been game show mania and Star Vijay leads the satellite channel's queue in implementing their creativity successful, while Sun TV tries to adopt something similar catches the race as it is the most watched channel by tamilians across the world (I just wonder how these ladies watch these sobbing mega serials - totally jobless).

This post is completely dedicated to all those ridiculous shows... lol…

1) Thiruvalar Thirumathi - Saturday nights in Sun TV - it is a show for couples - Oh My god - Narayanaaaaaaaaaaaaa! - I was stumped watching one of the couples dancing (winner of the that specific round wins some cash) - orru orru couple um road roller mathiri irrukaanga and looking at them dancing on a glass stage, koonjam bakku bakku nu irruku :D - there is also on the spot skit (verbal fight) and what not - Enna aachu tamil nadu makkaluku nu thaan theriyala - they look like real jokers..

2) Kasu Mazhai - Raj TV on weekdays - I was shocked looking at people locked in a cell catching money they is flying in the glass cage - romba kevalama irruku.

3) All those shows where talented makkal come and sing - these shows are sometime good - but I am bugged and bored watching these - koonjam creativity koondu varallam.

4) Top ten movies - they can stop these ratings atleast for sometime.

5) How can I miss these shows where people dedicate songs to others – I just wonder how people have so much time to call – post letters – answer questions for these shows – total waste of time and money?

6 - 7 - 8 - 9 ----- poodum there is lots of add to this list...

Looks like I am completely pissed off with these shows and I have missed out many in this list as I hardly watch the Television???? Why do not you guys go ahead and add them???

Serious ah thaangala..

Aha FM

The amount of time I spend gazing the hoarding is high when compared to the time I spend concentrating on the traffic and signals when I am on the road.

Of late the advertisement of the new FM has been bit weird - Each and every time I watch any of the hoardings relating to this FM I am not able to see the intended message the advertisement should actually trying to convey.

In each of the hoarding you can see a person totally mesmerized, exhausted and thoroughly intoxicated listening to the music from the FM. But the expression that you see in their faces - talks lot more: D. I rather feel the concept behind the advertising for the FM is lost. Of course it does attract people’s attention that is how the ad is – but ???

Few of the hoarding images captured using a mobile camera.







Do comment on what you think about the hoarding and do you feel that ad talks what it should?
