I remember waiting fr ad breaks to watch a few commercials i am fond of - The recent one being the ad featuring ARR for world space, what a genius of a jingle that is !! But we have to accept that there are very few ads that are good enough to prevent u switching channels. Some of them are so dumb and irritating they act as a kind of negative advertising - like this ad from IBM.. I have even tried standing upside down to understand what they are trying to say...onnum velaike aagala....there are tons of them similar to this !! i will give u list once i get home :D Creativity is what makes an ad interesting da.
