The most frustrating part of watching IPL on TV is the stupid advertisements that they keep showing. It looks as if all brands have resolved to make lame, illogical and stupid ads during prime time. Advertisements for Havells, Videocon mobiles, JK Cement, Carbon mobile (especially the one where Shewag says "I'm dashing, I'm carbon."), some mutual fund ad (Malhotra uncle ka beta), etc will only make sure no one will buy those products. Well I've not mentioned hero honda's ads in the list because IPL or no IPL they always make lame and stupid ads. And this continues even in the radio channels. I heard an ad for an electronic retail store in bangalore, they were talking something about a GIPL and it seems that its full form is Girias Premier League?!?!? What the does I stand for in gIpl??? All news channels talk about IPL now, people seem to be more interested in watching Sidhu take some guys trip in a news channel than they are about climate change!
Well taking about climate change, during every IPL match at the time of the toss, they give you a tip on how to save energy! Then they go on to waste so much of energy that the whole world would have saved if they followed that tip! I don't know how Lalit Modi can boast about the fact that IPL is promoting Go Green and not feel shameful about the same. The words and actions are inversly proportional! You can see some ridiculous statements made on how IPL will help with the Go Green concept here http://www.indianexpress.com/news/With-UN-help--IPL-to-go-green/589075/
