Vir Das has a problem with the products being ‘sexified’ and women being ‘objectified’. Once again, he uses his greatest tools- humour and sarcasm to make a strong point against every sexist TV commercial you’ve ever seen. In a clever commercial for a new deodorant brand, the stand up comic says ‘real men respect women’.
Vir Das, we love that you pulled this sarcastic one on the likes of the soft drink commercial that makes a mango look just as sexy as Katrina Kaif. The idea should be to sell the product, and not the sex appeal of a woman’s body. We couldn’t agree more.
