He even said it's a democracy and people are entitled to their opinions. I don't know what else he has to say.

Anywho, I think for the MOST part I agreed with the #MyChoice part. But they could have easily taken out the sex outside of marriage part. Bigger emphasis on the right to chose abortion if they want to, the right to get married to who you want regardless of relgion/race, the right to chose to love someone of the same gender, etc.

They could have done so much more with the "My Choice" tagline, but not a bad effort. You think people apart of the creative world, be slighty more creative. 😆

Legal only under specific conditions. Besides, female foeticide is grave issue in India.

I think the creatives who worked on the ad were in a hurry to finish off the job... half baked it is and hence those mixed responses

plus they could have included some more real women...ooops that might start another debate *runs away*

Probably the same dialogues with 99 men with a male voice over replacing "my choice" with " her choice " would make some impact... ...to me again it will be freedom given by men...but atleast some change should come...

Having se* outside marriage or not is my choice...its my love for my husband for which i wont do such a thinh not that I cant have...

Anyways words always create this type of uproar...I get the idea...I support womens freedom...wrong or right its subjective...for centuries we have suffered...so I wont mind if I have my choice even if it is wrong...

Yes agree. I think I meant from the American perspective. The whole Christianity being shoved down every person's throat.

But I meant if the girl is raped and she conceives out of that...it should be HER choice what she wants to do. I def don't want the law to dictate what counts and what doesn't, but you are right female infanticide is a massive issue.

Was Queen of England in it? I might watch it but "cleavage" queen's name just censored it out for me.

If u r gonna make it black or white, women vs men... ouch, missed the point. Forget abt the context.

I wud rather watch a BW cheap song where "ladkas and ladkis r teasing one another "whoz the best". and celebrate the diff. coz end of the day we r not "complete" without each other. 😉 I dont mean just love or marriage, but in everyday life... u dont wanna be suspicious of men or women walking past u all the time. 😲

I said it b4 and saying again.. India with its rich gvnt can reach out to evry rich and poor men/women thru TV. There r many many issues that needs attention and awareness and "will to ac on it" attitude.

If NZ can do it, why cant India? There r so many "ads" here abt the issues facing our society and each ad is so thought provoking.. I have slowed down or rather more alert ... my driving on suburb roads.. If therez a truck or bus parked opposite ur driving direction... blocking ur view, a kid can just come out running on the road, and u have no time to break. Doesnt matter if its ur fault or the kid's, who wants to hit a kid with a car? Just one ad made me think and change my driving for it.

Another ex.. is domestic violence. This one is huge issue in "maori and pacific islanders" community. Happy to see Indian community has the least no. of dom. Yes, they do produce the figures annually to show communities a mirror. And reflect.

In one of the ad, they showed battered, blue eyed, missing teeth women at the same time with men who r in jail and men who supported those women and children.. Half of the face changes from men to women.. voice changes form men to women. No celeb face.. Men n women together to solve the issue..

And a kid comes.. IT's NOT OK.

The tagline is 'It's not ok # domestic violence. BUT it's OK to ask for help. and the no. to call ... "24-7".

There r so many ads.. almost every ad hits the spot where it matters, heart and brains.

I think India needs to use the power of TV.. and run a sustained campaign. I think BigB's "2 boond jeevan ke liye" to fight with Polio had huge success.

No need to post videos on Yt for cleavage queens' popularity. It wont make any diff to most part of India... forget poor or middle class, not even in upper class (they will talk abt her dress). Total failure.

Be proactive India.. and learn something from others.
