Naughty…but not that naughtyTM


I have some opinions about the current advertising of the new chocolate Fling manufactured by mars. I’m just quoting the actual advertising lines from their official website in block letters.

Hmm...Lets start with the first line.
”Ladies, life is short. Don’t let it be boring too”.
The women’s life has been such a boring place for the past 5000 years since god made them. Mars who also makes M&Ms has taken a bold step in encouraging feminism and supporting women for various causes with the introduction of their new range of premium chocolates Fling which literally means discard or throw away. “Sometimes you need to be a little naughty — to taste the sweetness. We’ve broken the rules by creating FLING Chocolate, an un-regrettably indulgent premium chocolate”.I’m just guessing what do they mean by naughty when referring to a chocolate. There is actually a comment in gulf news on fling by a lady, which goes “Had my first naughty fling in the office yesterday … YUMMY!”. so girls now masturbate at the office place? Sheesh…If that’s the case, I’m all yes to fling or whatever trash that you throw.“It is a blah…blah…chocolate that looks as glamorous as the women it speaks to”. The glamour of the chocolate increases or decreases depending upon the lady purchasing it. What is it a chocolate or an alive chameleon? There is a limit to how much marketing a chocolate company can go upto. Mars and other companies marketing teams actually say these ads help them to better communicate with women. I have only one question, are women so dumb?“It tastes indulgent but it keeps its figure at under 85 calories per finger So go ahead and be as fabulous as you want to be. Sneak out to a movie.”
I have no problem with them reducing the calories, although I don’t get the part how it helps you to sneak out to movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if they freak out after..i mean it’s a chocolate for heavens sake. You wouldn’t sneak out or freak out unless you find some worms inside, like the cadbury’s some years ago.“Go curly. Lick the wrapper. Shake things up! Nobody’s looking. “I’m still guessing after reading the whole ad, is this a chocolate or porno video we are talking about. Who the hell cares if someone’s watching you while you are having a chocolate. I’m seriously disturbed by this advertising strategy, no matter it is effective or not.

Google "fling chocolate" for more information, not fling unless you want to end up in some adult dating website.

Finally, another post..

I really forgot that i had a blog for the past two months. Thought of writing an article about religion, but anything i am ever going to write about it has already been written in another blog by an agnost or aetheist. Anyways its becoming a real stupid topic to talk about or write. I was awoken at 7 in the morning today by my dad and there i sat in the bed with my eyes closed. In the meantime he had put off the AC and came to my room another 2 times yelling at me. It was then that i realised that he's waiting for me to go to church. I haven't gone to church in the past half year i guess. We usually go to church together but this time was different. I had more than enough reason i made up in my mind not to go to the church. so I pretended to sleep again and this time it was my mom. I don't remember what i said to her. Finally i woke up around 10 when they were all back. I had a heated argument with my dad before he finally gave up. I have never talked to my dad about religion before, it was difficult as he was putting his opinion and experiences every other minute in the conversation and my mom joined him for comments after that.

Also i came across this site called http://disbeliefnet.com. I have not come across a similar site recently as i didn't understand if it was for or against religion, very sarcastic i must agree. When i first visited the site, it had a bible verse of the moment which said

'Finally, the woman died.'
Matthew 22:27

It also has an ad for a christian porn site and a front page banner of bill maher's Religulous. Another curious thing is the Blasphemy box. "Blasphemy boxx????"How did they come up with that? It is a must check for everyone though and the site also has a suggestion box which goes like this:

Whether you want to proselytize us or sodomize us, send your damn email to"suggestions[at]disbeliefnet.com "
