If it’s football, it’s gotta be Brazil! This time around, the legendary Maradona would battle it out with Brazil’s own ‘son of the soil’ Biro Biro from the Corinthians. And for once, fizz is not synonymous with disappointment ‘coz this virtual…

PETA and the veggies couldn’t have been more pleased! ‘Ikkeno’ (Is that really the artist’s name?), has conjured up a Moby (KFC!) with his visual depiction of a ‘cow in distress’. Nothing can be as stomach-curdling as switching roles with an animal…

A work of art must elevate the soul by its beauty, goes an old adage. However, nothing can be as obnoxiously overpowering as a bad excuse for an ad. Panda Communications’ lame effort at stoking the abstract senses through ‘Foster’ deserves nothing but…
