This notice meant nothing but to gain a cheap popularity. I think it should be overlooked and kept away from website.

[...] the above mentioned reasons hurt any religion by any means. These kind of stupid cases remind me of Hari Sadu case against Naukri.com haha Category : Mera India. Date : April 11, 2007 | RSS 2.0. | trackback Tags [...]

using the name Hari, which is a very common name, in a derogatory manner is always dangerous. The company seems to have missed this little point. This is quite different from the Aids Campaign where you do not expand the name into a silly & unacceptable expansion. I agree, the boy’s parents might have over reacted but the company should have seen this happening when the began the campaign. Atleast a disclaimer would have saved the company from this embarassing situation. Anyways, that’s my humble opinion and my name is not HARI. “It takes a hundred things to get something right, but only one thing for something to go wrong.”

Just to top it off. Here’s what would come off my name :
R for Rascal, A for Arrogant, J for Jackass, I for Imbecile, V for Vandal.

Laughing at urself is the best sense of humour.

My first reaction to tha article, when I saw it on TV : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! LOL!!

An 11 yr old boy can be sensitive, he can mis-interpret his friend’s treatment as harassment, but when his 30 or 40 something parent shows the same sensitivity as Forrest Gump, its laughable.

What’s wrong with these people??

I fully support Naukri.com. That ad is ingenious!! Its made me laugh every time I see it. One of my friends is a guy called “Hari”, we openly taunt him & he well-spirited enough to understand it, infact, he himself starts the Hari Sadu thing sometimes.

Ads r supposed to make us laugh, make us cry & ultimately get so riveted that we actually believe in the product. This particular ad, along with other Naukri.com ads (loved the peanuts ads!!) achieves this effortlessly.

Tomorrow, if some ad makes fun of a guy called “Rajiv”, who is portrayed as a dumb fellow, I hav no qualms bout it. That “Rajiv” or “Hari” is a fictitious character & should be viewed strictly as that.

As far as the kid’s teasing goes, that’s bound to happen. If it was not that ad, it might be some girl’s name or somethin else. Kids that age r gonna be teased & should tease back in return. If a kid is gonna object to that, then, I advise him to stick indoors.

But seriously, the father threatening Naukri.com with a Rs.1crore case on national TV!! LOL!!

In case the case goes ahead (I think that’s not gonna happen) & in case that Naukri.com loses (which is as impossible as I becoming the next James Bonf, but u never know the great Indian Judiciary……esp after the Jessica case), here’s my advice to Naukri.com :

Take the Father’s Name’s letters & make it into a rocking, funny new ad!!

I swear..The legal notice is a dumb thing to do. I work with Naukri.com, and believe me the ad is in good humour and should be taken that way only. The ad has no reference to the name hari, its just a random name taken. The reference is to the “Hitler kind” boss. The crux of the ad is not to be derogatory to anyone but to show how much ppl trust naukri to find them a job.
The kids parents have overreacted big time.
