burmese advertising

… is the best.  And by best I mean absolute worst, making it hilarious.  The first time I had to wait at an airport here, I sat watching commercials on the TV, completely transfixed on how terrible they are.  The billboards are no better.

It seems like the equation for a good ad here is: guy + girl doing something completely unrelated to the product.

Examples:

- Guy and girl in wedding attire, on a boat.  (Coffee)

- Guy and girl on a pier.  (Tea)

- Guy digging a hole, girl laughing?  (Coffee)

- Girl washing a car, guy watching.  (Shampoo)

Etc.  I will hunt down a YouTube video when I’m in a country where it is no longer blocked.
