The Times of India Chennai ad TVC Wake up to the TOI.avi

[dineshbhat7]

most fucked up news paper.!!! they got nothing but Gossips.. which bollywood girl farted and who barfed on whom.. and who cracked their ass.!!!

[soccerockman]

THE HINDU = The National Daily of This Holy Land

TOI= The National Shame of This Holy Land

Thats the only one difference....!!!

[soccerockman]

TOI=TOILET PAPER OF INDIA.....!!! .Better they should come up with some good ideas than character assassinating a movement date back to 1878...!! The news paper which printed The Indian Express daily in 40's free of cost when Express lost their machinery in a fire.Can TOI do the same to Hindustan Times even they offered money for it? (They may do it cause money motivates them..!!).FUCK TOI....!!!

[Brandesignindia]

@soccerockman gr8 info..thx 4 sharing

[vikrambodicherla]

TOI made such a dumb-ass out of itself. The ad shows clips of election campaigns and factory openings, made it look a little boring, and then tried telling people it is kick-ass! The people who read TOI don't know what's important for them to make money to buy the TOI.

Idiots! :D

[saush07]

TOI is SHIT newspaper ....worst

[augustinkurian]

ohkay so civic issues are something thst puts you to sleep? kahin pe aam aadmi ko paani nahin mil raha hai, ya koi bada seminar ya recruitment ho raha hai, those are boring news? and whats the news that keeps you awake DUGGU?

[rritikathegreat]

TOI is better than the hindu

[abairptihni]

While the views vary with regards to which newspaper is better, when it comes to the ads themselves TOI's trumps Hindu's any day. The Hindu ad has too much of a Big Brother attitude to it while TOI's is well shot and imaginative. Plus, a questionnaire type ad for The Hindu, please! Even Harpic and Colgate do that, and yet they don't make the common man feel he is as dumb as soup! .

[dracula343]

@abairptihni Hindu's punchline beats TOI and HT by a long shot "Stay ahead of the times". Although i do disagree with the questionaire format. TOI could do the same to Hindu. There's imagination there.



[robinji1]

News that puts you to sleep??? LOL SO what does TOI do to combat that?? Yes .. Have all the Vulgar Sexual and made up controversial articles.. Yes, SO BLOODY ENTERTAINING!

Buzz off.. News is for News.. If News is boring, its still News. But if TOI wants to 'Entertain' its readers by porn and spicy tabloid.. then i guess its just India's version of E! News.. Its like boasting about Following every thing Kim Kardashian does... BULLSHIT!

[pravin7619]

TOI = porn pics + porn news + gossips+Gossips

[firehawk895]

lol i cant beleive so many dislikes.

[GummiBears01]

Shitty TOI-let paper. They hire Chetan Bhagat to write for their editorial section. Need I say more?

[hariaimar]

What about TOI??????? it gives u a "COMA"

[Reshmivsharma84]

The HINDU is The best newspaper, TOI can never reach the peak.... it can just mesmarise the readers for a short while with its masala news

[beckspr0]

ToI is for the iliterate :P

[xlrite2010to12]

Not a newspaper but Porn--dats wat TOI is...For the dumbest fellows in the town....

[loletteve]

the only part of TOI that is readable is the comics section

[greenjelly01]

TOI easily captured the B'lore and Mumbai markets, but Chennai is still the stronghold of The Hindu.

[Neel310183]

the point here is comparing the two advertisements, and not the newspapers.. and i think the ToI ad is way better than the juvenile Hindu ads.

[boredasusual007]

@Neel310183 Whatta joke. That's not true. The Hindu ads make way more sense than TOIs. The Hindu ads reflect the intellect of our nation and as hard as it maybe to acknowledge it, there is some truth in them. TOI on the other hand, ads or newspaper, is just full of bullshit. I mean newpapers are for imparting knowledge and the TOI is no one to speak, since SRK made it to the FRONT PAGE today. 'Nuff said.

[raghur2001]

TOI let paper.

[sarodpur]

Sorry, but TOI BS and Bollywood hype is unacceptable here in the South. Simple as that.

[praveenglad]

Not news paper. Paid news paper.

And for party goers and bollywood - special paper, extensive coverage of

pubs and cricket of all type IPL CPL all.

My opinion is absolutely Waste paper.

Some of the titles of TOI: I ask what i deserve Bipasa basu with half dress.

Don't bother what people ask.

-- very difficult to find editorial.

even after finding : novel writers are editorial writers like some idiot: Chetan bhagat.

[theeviltwi9]

TOIlet..................lol

[sosweetsan]

yuppiee, TOI-let paper!!!! just a bunch of advertisements in one paper, for that you need to shell out ur money?

[KAmarnathR]

Nice ad TOI. But for you folks, the sh*it hit the fan when the hindu came up with a simple reply ad. your domain is gossip/bollywood/sex. if you want to compete with the hindu, "GO HIRE SOME JOURNALISTS".

[athachil123]

TOI is just a weapon of UPA government agiainst their enemies...One can see their double stand in the issue of Jan LokPal...

[ItsLoveAtLast]

The newspaper is not about entertainment. It's about the happenings in the nation. If I want to be entertained I go for movies or sport not newspaper. TOI get your shit together. Do NOT play with freedom of people which the freedom to know about things which is right not which is entertaining.

[vikas1ace]

0:11 it's not important to know about the infrastructure projects in our country...

0:19 it's not important to know about latest happenings in sports (other then Cricket)...

0:24 if it's not beauty pageant you don't need to know about it...

0:30 Political assemblies!!! who cares about them these days??

0:35 who needs to know about pest control? I use All Out in my house...

0:38 TV for votes?? you don't vote so don't wanna read about that...

[GummiBears01]

@vikas1ace DARN, you cracked me up! You're full of awesome, dude! xD

[vikas1ace]

@GummiBears01 thnx man :)

[vikas1ace]

0:41 RSS training!!! is that what Digvijay calls Terrorist Camps?

0:47 What a lousy project... don't worry we will not tell you...

0:50 Water scarcity?? yes it is there.. what else do you wanna know about it?

[balpat5]

something else wakes up when i read TOI

[binoyrakesh]

This video had like 2000 views after 3 months ! But since Wednesday when the Hindu came out with their answer, the views have gone up to 15000. lol.

And look at the dislike bar, it looks like a light saber !

[rsudeshv]

By doing this commercial, TOI could not have prone itself any better to mudslinging and hatred!!

[criticalindian]

I didn't see ANY character reading with The Hindu in his hand. How does this ad mock The Hindu then?

[1akhilverma]

@criticalindian 1:01 What is in his hand? Look closely! The op-ed page of The Hindu!

[Neethudas1]

@criticalindian :Check 1.01..Clearly,The Hindu is shown!!!

We can easily recognise it from the font!

[cschukka]

@Neethudas1 --- chaaa 

[MrShreyz]

TOI at its best again..

[subigm]

If you want to learn how to market a product, you learn that from TOI, but if its news you want then better stick with some other news paper like Hindu. Its really surprising that Hindu came out with a real hard hitting ad, I guess the only people who "Woke up" were the creative team from Hindu. Thats a real change from a conservative outfit. Keep it up Hindu.

[musicloveriit]

wtf*ing image of Chennai are they trying to portray? A city of free TV's, mosquito vans and pot bellied police officers? I am so happy it got its a** served by The Hindu.

[rrlavi1979]

I think Hindu has given a very good fitting reply to TOI ad. If you want me to tell in tollywood language "toi Language" then "Mapu vechuthanda aappu".

[ishimou21]

True TOI will wake you up. After all Pic of women n skimpy clothes have that effect on ppl.

[Addy12parmar]

80% of the space in TOI contains Ads, Bollywood and Sports news, disgusting

[sanyogkesar123]

The Hindu funny /watch?v=5InnvoKo00s

[GoonersofNavarone]

So, they basically admit to publishing just 'entertaining' news...

[onemagicmushroom]

After working for around five years in the media in Bombay, I have a fair idea of how much trash is inside the TOI four walls. Trust me, what goes on inside there with people and practices can shake our collective trust in media.

[adarsha5]

This ad just put me to sleep.

[roselover123]

Hahaha... Nice ad, but TOI is just Gas ! To take on the might Hindu it really needs to Grow Up !

[pavanliverpudian]

TOI - a newspaper which is hell bent of marketing itself by showing skinny women... it'll need a complete revamp to take on the Hindu.

[tearlesspains]

all those who have disliked this video are hypocritic journos working for the Hindu , who enjoy reading Times of India , oye hindu catch up with the timesb first then you can try to get ahead of times

[sandipkumar]

@tearlesspains what a ch***iya comment. working for gas bag paper?

[abdulrehmankhancomme]

@tearlesspains funny 155 people compared to 34 are hypocritic journos according to you...

[abdulrehmankhancomme]

@tearlesspains this is the difference between a person who reads hindu and toi...the ones reading hindu are aware of reality and the ones reading toi are in there own world meaning bollywood...

[nits27knight]

wake up to the DIRTY PICTURE.. courtesy : TOI .... the hindu is much richer in its content.. TOI Please dont feed more non sense to the youth of nation !!

[punkchick21]

I almost went to sleep watching this ad :| TOI needs to rethink its advertising strategy big time!

[arunondeck]

TOI sucks big time.. just lousy gossips are der in it... its a disgrace to journalism..!!

[ramans11]

TOI is bullshit,but the ad is funny..

[ramananrv123]

TOI = TOIlet Paper of India

[stephenkiran]

I love TOI!! Hate The Hindu... true story!

[uploaddone]

BALLS to TOI



[yesbeeyes83]

TOIlet paper. As many of my friends call it.

[robinji1]

@yesbeeyes83 Toilet Of India ... as I have seen most of the TOI readers comment on their ridiculous tabloid articles

[Sankeerthize]

"digging one's own grave". "The Hindu's" answer to you'r ad, A SLAP in the face.

[amit87002001]

TOI is made only for cleaning my shit.

[princejt85]

Wake up to celebrity gossips!!

[vvbalajiviswanathan]

Nice ad. TOI might be interesting but it has little to do with good journalism.

[aurelius210]

BS. Hindu is probably the only paper with serious reportage, one that doesn't focus on the frothy, superficial stuff.

[soum212001]

Such an insult to Chennai

[PsynchS]

Pity those who read this waste called 'Times of India'.

[MegaWhistler]

TOI is a Lousy newspaper to say the least

[ravichaitanyapilli]

@MegaWhistler Ur right man
