I, Consumer

There should be a message sent to Olwell Milk Company on making such a stupid ad and giving it colors of glamourous living. That milk brand is just a status symbol more than a necessity: For all fools who think milk will make pretty then :P

``Agar doodh peenay say koi Gora ho sakta tou Bhains ka katta duniya mai.n sab say Gora hota``

Therefore stop becoming fodder of these ads and push these companies to show their active ingredient i-e Formaline that is now a key core preservative in these tin keeping the white liquid working unspoiled for months. This is a harmless chemical that remains undissolved in a human body for more than length of person`s life. In Pakistan in order to meet the demand and supply equation the multinational corrupts in milk products is at its beam. This issue should be bared in public and these companies should be accountable for risking life of Pakistanis.

Re: # 134

This is a Harmful Chemical that remains un-dissolved in body of Humans with its intake for years and is dangerous to cause many chronic diseases as cancers. The milk companies just advertise their UHT treatment of milk as this thing keeps the milk alive but you can yourself put all brands of milk`s samples to a laboratory test and will find presence of heavy amount of formalin in it. This is against international standards and laws but the multi-millionare companies are hiding this to be a part of public awareness.
People should know what are they taking in and how much worse it can make the situation. The liquid that can be kept in the shelves for months is the most harmful thing to be taken. These milk companies for many years have been showing anti-campaigns against the milk hawkers that they are dirty, the pots are uncleaned. But believe me a dilute milk is far far better then formalin-injected milk pack. Their strategies is to make public away from street hawkers of dairy milk supplies as to make their market exceed. And they have been successful in it. Now everyday you hear a new brand making its way in market. How is this possible where the cattles are unable to produce to meet the requirements of the state. But Olwell or Good Milk you will find in the front shelves of a Dukan in a remote area of Pakistan besides a candy product.
This industry boom is alarming because it has roots of corrupt minds. This message should be in public and the health sector should do something about it. We dont want our generations to be ruined by hands of these capitalists.
Stop having these milk packs and spread this message in masses...

Farheen ! If u see the add of Olwell its not just like u described

`` a guy standing at his window, a pretty girl stepping out of her limo and some people working out in the gym``.

There is some thing more in this add. Being a marketer & advertising person, we should see & decide, what are the values & norms exist in the consumer world.

There is a HOT debate is continue on the marketing circles, regarding Olwell milk, kindly review one point of view in attached article. A MUST READ STRORY

http://www.womenrightsinislam.com/OLWELLTVC.htm

The dark/light , black/white, impure/pure , dirty/clean polarities are polarities that mould the collective conciousness of all the great religions and civilizations.
In the black world the white man was a devil. A white man looks like a ghost to those whose collective sensibilities reverse the value attached to the polarity of black/white to white/black and attach approbative sense to the polarity of blackness.
As I said , White or Islamist, Hence Beautiful!!!
There is no conection!!

masadi: snakes are animals. they are not hypocrites. you are welcome to call me a hypocrite if you are offended that i am not writing what you would like to see me write - but how dare you insult snakes or any other of God`s little creatures!!

snakes bite only so they can catch prey or in self-defense - unlike scum like you about whom the less said the better.

and stop reciting ``I am leaving on a jet plane`` as you board the plane. the airline staff will think you have been smoking something!!

#115, {``... white skin people are used to makeover a theme that our population is immune to believe. This skin color issue is as much expansive as of the industrial tactics of advertisments is concerned in a global way.
The more concerned thing is that our industry is only a producer of cosmetic soaps, some creams and mouthwashs and toothpastes. .. This Eid there was an acute shortage of many medicines in the drug stores that are life savers and gives relief to the infected diseases that are viral in this season. .... All these cosmetic havoc is just drifting our nation from major problems that needs to be engineered and taken care of.
We majority of us have no idea what to do if a product fails our satisfaction. Can we speak for our consumer rights in courts.
What are they giving us in the form of milk. Which active ingredient is letting a milk a perished entity to survive more than months unspoiled. However only tetra packaging doesnt do miracle. Are our kids taking poison. And the milk brands are increasing as our buffaloes are increasing every length of day. Of an estimate there are not enough cattles to give milk for Karachi itself. Nor there is enough fodder. Then how milk is flowing like in heaven. Why these multimillionare companies not argued by the nation. There is scarcity of pure milk in evey town of Pakistan then how these mills are making milk in first instance.

Advertisments targeting comes in second phase. We are not in any position to crrirtize a product from becoming a part of our surrounding. The companies will keep healing us with mouth watering creams and our tears by rose petal tissues. We will have a handsome pack of milk thinking it a best dairy product and will slowly converge to the absolute diseases of cancers, but thats already late. Our doctors are selling them for soap ads, cream ads as if there is no tomorrow for them. ``}

#127, masadi sahib {``..on the other hand the hypocrite/snake tahmed believes the same, even more strongly than hamid, but he hides it behind other attributes of being beautiful and lo and behold he applies all those fine attributes moreso to the white man/woman than to anyone else. ...and the snakes and lying hypocrites like tahmed...``}

Masadi Sahib,
I like your taste in identify reptilian hippopotami. :) May Allah bless you for your clarity of thought and accuracy in observation. Thanks.

As a short, dark and ugly dravidian, i feel better knowing hamidm2 has a daughter that looks like me :)

zeemax writes <<< Hamidm has a hell of an inferiority complex. Skin colour has nothing to do with attractiveness ... rather it is the grace, poise, bone structure, carriage, personality,and so forth which is attractive to either sex >>>

Zeemax mian don`t be so hard on hamid 2pack, atleast he is being honest in telling us about the object of his worship, he links beauty with being white....on the other hand the hypocrite/snake tahmed believes the same, even more strongly than hamid, but he hides it behind other attributes of being beautiful and lo and behold he applies all those fine attributes moreso to the white man/woman than to anyone else.

The white race has been the dominant agenda setter for a while now, and they explicity and implicity impose a relationship of superior/subordinate on the races they rule over in order to colonize minds and souls....that is the reason why white appears the `most beautiful` to the colonized minds and the aspects of the attributes you mention that appear `beautiful`` are linked more with being white or like-white. Few have the good fortune to rescue themselves from the belly of this beast and the human wasteland aka America, after which colonized minds are destroying their true personalities to imitate their masters. You should feel sorry for them, go easy on the poor souls, these rank racists, the explicit truthful ones like hamid and the snakes and lying hypocrites like tahmed...

I don`t believe in this consumerism driving economies. Well at least not for ever...automation is driving the production compenent directly attributable to humans to diminimus relevancy. In another 100 years, we are not going to be making anything..we will be buying and selling things made by machines and speculating on their derivatives.

I think its a bit bizarre that you are so threatened by Black Civilizations that you half wittedly reduce the Black world to a female body part


I do the same for whites, orientals and other asians...Am I threatened by those civilizations too?

Re: # 124

that is a question for Dr. Sohail, Arjun, not this board....

Akheya kise ne Majnoo kuN,

Chitte verk Koran de jitay siyahe rang di kali.
Akhe Ghulam Farid, jithe dil adrape,
hove rang di gori ya kali

#119 Will there be a test on this poem? Are we to memorize it? Should we also be able to parse the sentences??

Re: # 121

have a go at the sonnet :)

Stukay,

I think its a bit bizarre that you are so threatened by Black Civilizations that you half wittedly reduce the Black world to a female body part, the achievement and history of all African Americans to your brief experience at a low wage job. The first claim made is mind boggling in its ignorance and the second claim is a facetious and pernicious attempt at the model minority myth. Especially since you werent truly in the same socio-eco bracket of the community in which you were laboring.
