Chennai Media
Chennai Media has proved to be a wealth of entertainment. Full of spelling mistakes and faux pas including the title for an article on a sex scandal reading “Minister sits on probe.” Here are some more:
Add from the Chennai newspaper the Deccan Chronicle, Friday June 30, 2006.
“Matrimonial
Groom wanted
Tamil
Saiva Pillai Girl 35/160/ 25, 000 seeks alliance from educated boys age between 36-37, preference will be given to service minded individuals, physically challenged will not be a constraint. Enquires from boys running orphanages or associated with orphanages is welcome. Interested please mail bio-data/ photo/ horoscope to Box No DC-326 C/o Deccan Chronicle….”
This is entirely serious, and one of many thousands like this in the paper; this one tickled our fancy due to the physically challenged section. And the Horoscope, and the organage bit and the.... Perhaps the parents had given up on this one?
Promotional add for the movie Krissh reads:
“Superman… Spiderman… Zorro… All rolled in one Indian Superman.” Most of the adds here on billboards show a masked crusader wearing a black leather skirt. Did they think about the logistics of the skirt?
We tried to find the exact promo as it is in the paper, but this one will have to do. Tama, you might find this of interest, as they seem to be re-creating a metropolis like the post 9/11 New York of Spiderman.
The add also says that Krissh is in its “second tremendous week”, which we found amusing until we read the promotion of another movie entitled “Chandra Mukhi” which is in its “448th day.” Yikes! Roll over Phantom of the Opera!
The New Indian Express, 4th July.
Picture of a member of parliament feeding a small monkey and the caption read:
“Minister Rahamatullah feeding a stub-tailed monkey at the zoo on stub-tailed monkey day”
Well durr! And what the?
