Advertising is a Diplomatic way of telling a Lie

[mad]

wat u think is it a diplomatic way to telling a lie

wats ur ideas friends

[sai_kiranreddy3]

its not a lie its just an plotform to exhibt he product to the customers

[udaytulasii]

I don think so...'cos companies just cannot survive saying lies regrding their products and services.Customers are capable enough to scrutinize the value of products,'cos they're the ones who buy and use them.
Companies are becoming Customer Conscious..they are it playing it safe by maintaining good relations with customers.Being ethical in their approach is a necessity for survival.

But without advertisement , its very difficult to buy products, tell me how many of us go to shops and purchase products which we have never heard of, isn't it the power of advertisement?

Yes U r correct, It's a Lie

If we talk about Indian Market there are various examples

1. fair & Lovely - your all fairness creams - fair color on your face within 4 weeks , which actually doesn't works

2. Regarding the Average of Bike or Car - km/per liter is not correct.It is under such conditions which are almost un avaliable to a common man.

3. Charges by Banking, Insurance companies are hidden, not shown in ADvt.

4. Maggi Noodles we all make them but I never get my noodles completely cooked within 2 minutes.

we can also talk about

1. Misleading Advertisements

2. Unethical Advertisements

undergoing in the market

Thanks

Yes Buddy this is right but nt all times.Advertisement is a platform to sell your product.Ofcourse you can tell lies thru the ads but tht lie shudn't give a bad name to ur product or to your organisation.Lying is gud as long as people enjoy it.Some ads are there which doesn't tell a lie.Recently I saw an ad frm Hindustan Times for the Lead India.The ad portrays the real life situation where a politician jus escapes from his duty when he sees a log lying in the middle of the road disturbing the traffic.There are some ads which really makes you think.So ads can't be completely said as diplomatic way of lying.As always there are two sides for a coin.

First of all I must appreciate the efforts of all the members out here in this thread as most of the members of this thread are new to MP...... well done friends... and welcome to MP and yaa Enjoy MP
So advertisement according to me in Indian Context is the procedure of making people fool..... as rightly given example above in this thread most of the companies tries to fool out the viewers...
I think there must be strict action taken in regard of this.... as if we take example of Bollywood Movie "Traffic Signal" there was a boy who was inspired from the Bill Board of Fair & Lovely stating that it would make you fair.... blah blah blah... and start spending his money on the same product...
What impact does it had given?
Companies sometimes without understanding the worst part of the message which their advertisement is conveying start promoting out the advertisement.... which at last is sometimes harmful for the society...
Come on.... why should we be fooled off.... Is there no rules as such to stop these all advertisements..... As in USA advertisement have to be passed from the sensor board.... should there be any such rules in India...
or we would be fooled forever?
