Dumb Ways to Die...

Hang me again.

Really.
To save the dead farmer's family.
So what if the paintings fetch a crore or two?
Farmers have been dying for years.
In thousands.

Save park benches from chewing gum.
Save Calligraphy.
Save Cricket.
By printing out stumps.
And pasting them on top of the stumps,
drawn on the walls by the children of India for years.

Save the trees to save the endangered species.
But wait!
This appeal's got to be printed!
On paper!
Hmm.
So you can't really save the trees.
If you wish to save endangered species.
Not to worry...
There is no category called Logic-Lions.
Phew!

How about saving our energy?
And spending it on advertsing effectiveness.
No. Not the category!!!
I mean, real, old school effectiveness.
One that helps sell.
Helps make profit.
Improves the economy.
Helps us look good as professionals,
and not award hungry buffoons.

Ah, well...
Save your unpatriotic breath,
I hear you say.
Let's celebrate.
And move on.
Just like those farmer's families.

Hang me again,
and sing 'Dumb ways to die'.

Jai Hind.
