They've proved that they don't have enough creative ideas to make their advertisements. Their recent TV commercial has ideas taken from a movie, lol.

As for me looking at something like this as a layman…i would still think that there is surely lack of originality…..and is it always about revenues….i do agree with Ujmi on this…..comparing it with other networks i think that they do come up with new concepts or reviving the old one…recently saw the Jazz 68 paisa Tvc..much better than the previous well all in a days work its original..anything which is creative and original should be out of the spheres or revenue…its about your brand name and pride….thats all wat i can say….

The thing is an artist (any medium)might be inspired by a logo. A design pattern. A wall hanging, anything even nature. Every thing has to start from something. You just can't put a blame on someone being a thief that easily now can you? Like a lot of songs you hear maybe really similar at times, are they copied? No, there not you have say 5 string you have the combinations, they are bound to repeat one time or another without any one knowing it. Whats more important is, the thing is conveying the message its suppose to deliver in the desired way or not ? If it is and ZONG is getting their revenues, does it really matter?

I had forgotten earlier to refer to a similar post to show that this epidemic of cheating creativity does not only hold true for Pakistan. Our neighbors are at it too ! http://blog.sohaibmuneer.com/karan-johar-copy-pastes-snooks-weblog I guess this is the "save time" "lesser budget" "get it done and grab the payment" methodology at work. This is specifically true for their various media niches including Bollywood about which no one needs to give examples. My point is that this is somehow true for this whole region i.e. India and Pak. Whats' up ? people don't take pride in their work ? is that because of the employers ? the employees ? - the whole region is marked by the world to get "cheap labor" from. We are not known for our creativity which is sad. Or does poverty stand at the very core of the problem ? Doh !
