Strategy? Surprise?

Malaika Arora Khan for Yahoo!

The Yahoo! Mail India Ad in the latest India Today (dated 25 July 2005) featuring Malaika Arora Khan. Interesting to say the least.

PS : Apologies for the bad shot, any form of lighting messes up since the paper is glossy and I was too impatient to experiment.

PPS : Wonder what her yahoo.co.in email address is. ;)

Mood: cheerful

Nope. I use http://mail.yahoo.com and very rarely to top it off.

You stopped, you looked at this post, you saw the ad. If you hadn't been on Y! for seven years, you would have signed up. :D :P

I know. It would actually be de.mail.yahoo.com. All domains need to end in yahoo.com.

Ok, I see. Why is this actually the case? They own the domain names anyway.

Oh. Now I figure out why they are using her ... Malaika sounds similar to "Mail hai kya"? I really dont know what that means in Hindi, but with all those stupid punch lines like "Hungry Kya?", "Anything Karega", "Oye Bubbly" and crap, this one is probably going to be yahoos next ad?

I don't like her in the ad. Blah. If I didn't know better, I'd stop eating Pizza Hut pizzas ;)

The Yahoo! print Ad is much nicer.

If I wasn't hungry, or if there was anything else to eat, I would not have touched the Pizza Hut pizza last night.

I think they're good. Whose's pizzas do you prefer instead? or you're not a pizza type person?
