In Unspuns final posting we featured a stupidity of TV8 in Malaysia as well as its Ramadhan message. While a flak is still flying in Malaysia, Indonesias TVOne (what is it with TV stations as well as numerals?) seems to have come up with stupidity of their own.
TV stations traditionally air a videoclip to accompany a adz an prayers. Typical messages are, of course, exhorting people to be religious, to be tolerant, to have compassion. This year, however, TVOne has a different message:
It starts with a tailor being treated with colour badly. This inspires him to get even by we do good for himself. So he goes to a bank to get a loan, start a business. As he prospers he buys a car.
Heres where product chain gets ridiculous. The camera has a requisite handshake-to-denote-closed-deal shot as well as as it pans out, really prominently we see a Daihatsu marqe as well as a have of a model of a automobile Sirjohn (what arrange of an simpleton will name a automobile Sirjohn anyway?)
As a automobile leaves a showroom, violation all a rules of a Highway Code since it does not have a legit series image but a ridiculous SIRJOHN, a camera delicately pans across a we guessed it DAIHATSU salon as well as a actuality which it is partial of ASTRA International.
What were a marketing people during Astra Daihatsu as well as their advertising association thinking? Unspun supposes a subject is moot since if they were meditative during all they would have realized which something like which smacks of a brand exploiting religion to sell its products, would backfire.
Already, Twitter is all abuzz with this insensitivity on a partial of Astra as well as Daihatsu. Lets see how they will expostulate their approach out of all this. - Unspun
