Virgin Mobile’s latest promotion is a fine example of South Asian-inspired surrealist kitsch. Not to mention the visions you had the morning after the New Year’s party. No, Virginia, those weren’t sugarplums dancing through your head.
For art that so prominently features a Hindu motif, it sure is strange to extirpate Diwali from the name (Chrismahanukwanzakah). So, I’ve re-christened it, so to speak.
Happy Diwahanukwanzidmas, and watch the animation!
I love the pic. I want that to be the cover of my book on secularism …
And a little joke: The Punjabi/Sikh translation of “Santa” is “Christmas Papaji”
Have plenty damn good Happy new year in the Paris India site http://www.indeaparis.com/index.php
