As far as Friday mornings
go, today was an eventful one. Most of us woke up with Pierce Brosnan’s
handsome face splashed on our front pages and television screens. Then all of a
sudden it dawned on us, the suave spy is shilling paan masala, the cancer
causing substance which till now was considered a staple of Bhojpuri villains
and their ilk.
Here he was,
fighting a bunch of men with a Pan Bahar dabba. And then, Bond becomes Bond
Bhai when he says: Pan Bahar – Class never goes out of style.
As expected,
desi Twitter went in for the kill. Harsha Bhogle said what everyone was
thinking when he tweeted: Can advertising and brand experts tell us if going
viral but becoming a laughing stock is good brand strategy? #PanBahar
Soon the hashtag
#PierceBrosnan and #PanBahar were trending. Here are some of the best reactions
to the advertisement we will never be able to unsee.
