Yes, it has Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in it. She looks good. Some dancers jump about. The music’s not too bad. but the ad is about watches. That are also shown, I must admit. But why will I buy this watch? Because it makes Aishwarya’s “head spin”? She actually said “go round”, but it has been replaced with a voice-over.

Seriously. Why will I buy this watch after this ad?

If it is because it makes my head spin, then how will I tell time?

Sure. But isn’t there a better, more humane way of showing it? Or does the WWF only care for animals’ and trees’ feelings?

It seems they did apologize for this, but I can’t find the link to that anywhere.
