Recently, Pakistani former cricketer, Shoaib Akhtar appeared on a live sports show and criticized Pakistani advertisements.
â[The] worldâs pathetic advertisements are made in Pakistan,â Akhtar said.
âYou can imagine the capacity of our elite class that their brains are filled with trash, filled with trash. They have no creativity,â he continued.
âThereâs an ad of 4G and a guy is running very fast and jumps off a cliff and stands there. I thought itâs an advertisement of shoes but turns out itâs about a faster 4G connection.â Akhtar added.
âIn another one, two cricketers are dancing on a track about a girl welcoming her beloved. How silly is it to have two cricketers dance on this? A guest cricketer has come and the other one is receiving him and that track is being playedâ he further added.
âI think their brains have stopped working. This the corporate ads culture?â the ex-pacer said.
However, the host tried interrupting him by asking him about South Africaâs tour to Pakistan but Shoaib didnât stop insulting the Pakistani ads.
âYou have seen that worldâs pathetic ads are being made here,â the 45-year-old said.
âI was offered to work in a car advertisement. I told them that I will produce the ad. If you like it, you can keep it. Otherwise, I donât want you to make this advertisement,â he stated.
âThey agreed and we made the advertisement and they loved it. The ad got millions of views and when they showed me their original concept for the same ad, I said: âShame on you for your pathetic conceptââ he added.Â
