No this is not a paid advertisement for Astro Max (although i feel i should be getting some royalty for bringing this topic on their Max decoder campaign). I have heard of the TiVo (not sure if the casing is alright?!) making waves in the US, the ability to record tv shows and watch them later... Astro Max came as no surprise to me, as it was high time we got hold of a similar (if not same) technology.
Don't you just love the geniuses of advertising world making ads that really take our attention? And dont u just love the Astro Max advertisement series? Just take Mr.Mohan, who always has time... he knows practically about each show in various languages... He's a household name now and icon for uncles (and my dad) out there who have no time from business and work to catch up with tv shows. And the sports fan father-son duo... i like the last punchline when the dad says 'Daddy tak bias' and puts his newspaper down giving us a view of his tshirt (and fav football team). My fav is the young boy who terrorises his young (and so much in love parents) with his irritating and (nevertheless) cute ways... i can almost picture the look on his face when his parents hang him on the nail on the wall (him wearing superman costume, how ironic?)!!
So did the advertisement make me get Astro Max for myself? Humbly said, I've got no time, the little time i have i'd rather invest in sleeping :-P but i do rush to watch their ads whenever it is aired on Astro!!
