The fun gun...!!!

One day Mr.Bear and Mr.Rabbit are walking through the forrest when they come across a genie in a bottle.

They rub the bottle and the genie appears, and seeing that there are two of them and the genie hasn't been rubbed up and down for a while he decides to do a special offer...

"3 wishes each, that's 6 in total... boys, now who's first up.. Mr.Bear?"

"OK" Mr Bear replies, "Well i wish that all the bears in this forest were hot looking girl bears!"

The genie winks at Mr Bear and grants his wish, he then turns to Mr Rabbit...

"Well, in that case i wish i had a crash helmet" says Mr Rabbit.

The genie grants this wish and asks Mr bear for his second wish...

"Well, I wish that all the bears in this country were hot looking girl bears who were hot for me!"

Aha! says the genie with a sly grin and a wink, your wish is granted..

"OK, well now I want a motor bike" says Mr Rabbit. Mr Bear looks at Mr Rabbit in disgrace and then uses his final wish.

"Well seeing as how Mr Rabbit keeps wasting wishes I could be using i'm going to make this one really count. I wish that all the bears in the world were sexy girl bears all for me, I wanna be the only guy bear so i can have em all!"

The genie is pleased with this wish and gives Mr Bear a nudge in the ribs.

"Your wish is granted Mr Bear, you horny devil!"

Finally, Mr Rabbit uses his final wish.

"Well, I wish Mr Bear was gay!!!!" ....and takes off as fast as he can on his motor bike!

Have a gayous..rrrrrr a joyous week end folks..!!!!

an ad a day !!!

Wondered how advertising agencies would advertise themselves? McCann Erickson came up with these really good ones,(it is rare and ad agencies do more of PR than advertise themselves) suggesting the value of their advice to clients. The copy reads “You wont be sorry you listened to us.”

Absolutely hilarious....... Just imagine Fidel Castro with the lollipop instead of his characteristic cigar. And advising Jesus Christ on what motif he should be adopting!! (No offense is meant to any religious or political preferences.)

Aahaa.. what a climax !!!

My brother was busy changing batteries of his mp3 player, to hear running commentary of 4th cricket match between India and West Indies, thanx to Nimbus. These brought back blurred memories of 1984, when my uncles were all glued to Murphy radio sets to hear Kapil’s dev’s momentous outing (?) in the Lord’s.

And remember Mr. Ameen Sayani, the legendary broadcaster of “Binaca (later Cibaca) Geethmala in radio Ceylon? As they say, History repeats by itself, Radio has become once more popular. Up, Down and Up again… The up-and-coming of FM channels across India has helped Radio return from the grave.

As per Mr. Sayani, radio is a fascinating medium, “when you listen to a note or a word, you paint a picture in your mind and a creative process evolves. Radio is very participative and involving”.

‘Aahaa’ of entertainment !!!

On January 18, 2007 Aahaa, 91.9 FM went on air. Aahaa, “The climax of entertainment”,(see the tagline…remember it..!!) was the ninth private radio to air in Chennai. Hoardings of ‘Aahaa ‘FM has captured the attention of Chennaites ….Why not….?

Did you not say “Aahaa”?? Now read that tagline again…..

When it comes to radio, it’s not only the climax of entertainment but beginning of a second life, which no one foresaw..

All those critics and media watchers must have gone hiding….

Marconi must be laughing, in mirth from his grave…..
