It has been a few days since Deepavali’s over, but still, some of us could not let go of the celebration mood. Our elders might say that for us, Deepavali is celebrated for about 1 week, whilst some might drag it to 1 month. Anyway, that does not matter for now. What matters is that a few days ago, this funny-cum-weird 3GP clip, which was once circulated a few years back if I’m not mistaken, is without any doubt, being circulated again. In addition to that, the video was purportedly shot in 2006, somewhere in Shah Alam.

The video shows how retarded some of our “Indian uncles” could be. When I’m talking about Indian uncles, I’m not talking about those in the range of 30 ~ 40. In fact, this uncle in the video should definitely be more than 45 and yet he dares himself to do the nastiest thing one can do, in public! I won’t talk much about the ‘aunty’ in the video because, well, you know, I’m completely speechless about it.

When kids do the nastiest thing, those aunties and uncles would go berserk about it. But, when those aunties and uncles do the nastiest thing, we, the M1 bloggers, would be very proud to blog about it.

Both the advertisement seems to be insulting Rajinikanth in a way that even his fans won’t be aware of but not us, at least me in this case. No matter how hard our hero breaks the law of physics, he could never ever compete with a person named “Vijayakanth” who works in the same industry as he does.

Anyway, what’s the point of putting Rajinikanth in this ad? So that the Indians would go for the product just because “Rajinikanth” has said so? Hmmmm. You may view the flash-based ad by clicking HERE (audio in Tamil, subtitles in English).

Every year, Petronas would never fail to impress us with their overwhelming Deepavali commercial. This is because their commercials would be very different from others, as it would be very down-to-earth, makes us to ponder on the deep meaning of the message as well as instilling a sense of awe; in which it gives a slap on our face each year, to ensure that we are moving on the right track, whilst doing the right thing.

Gone were the days where there would be a classical Indian dancer dancing for the infamous Dunhill Deepavali commercial. Gone were the days when Jack Nadarajah’s Deepavali show would be a must-see for every Indians during Deepavali. Ever since ASTRO engulfed the whole Malaysian Indian community, “Tamil movies” and “Tamil Celebrity Interviews” plays a major role in determining a Deepavali week to be an indeed, “Deepavali week”.

Putting that aside, let’s have a look at the 2008 Petronas Deepavali commercial:
