I took this photo in Uttar Pradesh, where the advertisement for “Pimp Kill” pimple cream appeared prominently a number of times.
I’m guessing that the advertiser doesn’t know that a “Pimp” is actually an agent for prostitutes, who lives off their earnings.

ROFL!
HEHE!
I am really interested to know what took you to Uttarakhand!
It’s possible that the advertisers don’t know the meaning of the word ‘pimp’ as you assumed. After knowing many inhabitants from U.P, I sort of know what the advertisers thought in terms of many potential users – ” this is ‘pimp-kill’, boodbakhh (a common slang meaning ‘fools’ or more)!! It kills pimples and it also kills pimps, now ask us how? “
Hi Dips, I went to Nainital and Corbett National Park for work — a Mahindra Homestays advertising campaign.

Yeah, but it was only after someone explained it to me. My mind is innocent about such wicked worldy things.
Hi I meant to get in touch with you way back about the autorickshaw race but life overtook me and I didnt manage. Like your picture and will dip in to your blog now that I know who you are. Ramit introduced me to you. I am quite new but enjoying blogging about this rather unpredictable country. MM
Oh yes MM, I remember who you are! Welcome to the blog, I hope you enjoy it.
There is always so much to blog about in India.
LMAO…and the billboard shows a woman
“…and the billboard shows a woman…”
A minor correction : “…and the billboard shows a very ‘fair-skinned’ woman…”
i wish i had a permanent tan :/ i feel awkward at the beach when everyone around me is nice and toasty and i’m like a glare reflecting off the water
ha ha..
Really made me laugh….i really wonder wat the advertiser thought
Sharell, it is painfully obvious to me that you have just not understood India. Tsk tsk.
This cream is a great Indian invention (right up there with mosquito-zapper #122), a tool for the emancipation of women. It actually gets rid of pimps. I believe their tag line is “Satisfaction guaranteed: pimps visibly dead in just 3 weeks!”
And that’s why the woman is smiling.
Pimp who? You know, that “agent for prostitutes, who lives off their earnings.”
So how was Corbett?
Cheers,

Like a cockroach repellent, ay?
Hmmmm….now I’m starting to wonder if that cream could benefit me?….since my skin colour is that of the woman and all.
The cream would certainly benefit you, you would become transparent or like a fluorescent light or a white glow sticks or a moonlight !!!
Thats typical India. U will find many such amusing hoardings even in a metro city.
The “real” India that tourists constantly seek!
Um, are you still a tourist? or a better question to be asked is, are you still seeking ‘real’ India?
Neither, really. But in my view, the “real” India is a myth. Everything that you see in India is real — from the luxury to the poverty.
Um, an impressive answer!!! ‘seeing things the way they are, not the way they were told’!!!!
A truer word never spoken.
Nice pic
