Walk when you talk? What a Stupid Idea Sir ji!
Talking about advertisements….You know some ads are just plain nonsense..some of them are so distasteful that the you find yourself stuck in your same old dreaded habit of switching channels all the time. The “what an IDEA Sir ji!” line of ads from Idea Cellular probably fall in to this category. Walk while you talk or talk while you walk, walk and talk, talk and walk, rubbish blatantly starts with the feel that the idea’s revolutionising India. No Sir, with all respect, the idea is not revolutionising by any means, it is nothing more than stupid imagination.
Talking on cell phone while walking is as dangerous as using phone while driving if not more. Your mind is diverted in two activities, and if you are engrossed in an important conversation, you may lose sight of the things happening around you. You know Indian roads are nasty, there are potholes, manholes left open and other hazards that you must tread cautiously. Likewise, if you aren’t listenining well, then what’s the use of talking in the first place!
What, have no idea of what I am talking about?
See it here in action:-
And, I am not the only one, few kindful fellows here have also raise their objections to it here http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/idea-cellular-c206885.html and here:

See, this guy who’s up against Abhishek’s stupid suggestion and cautioning people of the pitfalls of talking while walking and vice versa. He seems pretty serious, doesn’t he?
Funny by the way (looks to me, no hard feelings). And, if you’d not rather listen to me or the advice of the guy above in forced english accent, well, do it at your own risk and don’t blame us later. The guy below followed “Little Bachchan’s” advocating Walking and Talking simultaneously on phone that he ultimately ended up paying the price!
Walk when you talk Sir ji? No thanks. This idea does not click at all. Keep your stupid idea and advice to yourself.
Now, what do you think of the whole walk and talk idea campaign? Think its’ a nice idea? Helped you lose weight? Kept you busy while walking to the nearby grocery store? Bumped you into a beautiful girl or guy of your dreams? or Got you into an awful situation? Let us know.
