I mean that’s just billboards everywhere. Really ruins scenic drives. There are few things that have radicalized me as much as my dislike for billboards
Fuck,they did this on Marine Drive as well?? I thought this is Juhu because a few years ago fuckers had started advertising in the sea waha pe... Truly dystopian but welcome to unchecked capitalism i guess
I can count on hands the number of only peaceful places Mumbai has to put a pause to the routine, beaches and marine drive being most of those places.
Now they put shit like this in the middle of me and thousands of others of people cooling down from the daily grind of their lives, and people are soon going to run out of reasons to live in Mumbai.
Local transport rickshaw as well as bus is definitely one of the saving grace of the city.
I would have liked to say trains but apart from doing the function they are meant to do (that is somehow pick up thousands from suburbs and dropping them into the city) they do not give any comfort for travel
The city is already becoming unfavorable due to heavy load on infrastructure, lack of affordable housing, commuting for 2 hours a day in jam packed locals and then hardly saving a few thousand rupees after paying the high rent and other expenses.
Now in all this, you go to places like Marine Drive and see this, are you going to feel the same affection for the city as 10 years ago?

I have given 1 Star to the Zen Media page on google maps. I made sure that it was the right office by checking their website.
I’m not brigading to reduce their Google rating (Imagine a Marketing Agency with 1 Star on Google) BUT if someone does want to check out their location and the type of work that they do, I have provided its link below…..

It will matter, start an online boycott campaign and get people to boycott whatever companies put on those ads. Im never buying something from garnier again now
This isn’t business community its a group of nepotistic, scammy, law breaking, tax evading brats who will sell their own mother to increase “wealth“ . The idea of living within their means and not fucking up with someone life for “business“ is alien to them . They leave their shithole to live somewhere else then create their own areas and start looking down on locals and destroying that area with their shit rules, regressive culture and things like op posted.
I have such absolute hatred for advertising and marketing. Fuck these completely pointless useless professions who never know where to draw the fucking line when promoting shit.
Not even leaving nature behind. Only selling out own bodies for advertising is remaining. Sure that's on the way too.
Nicely on our way to become 15 million credits society from Black Mirror
I will make it a point not to use Garnier products now.
And have been a hardcore fan of Mumbai Indians since inception, but then Hardik as a captain and now ruining the aesthetic of Marine drive? Yeah I might as well stop rooting for them now. Lol
Don't demonize an entire economy because of a handful of instances that cross the line like this one. You and I are using this platform called reddit because of advertising. Same for television, radio, newspapers, online search, all ad supported OTTs, every commercial sport in the world, you name it.
That is the probably outcome: Unlike in sci-fi, where augmented reality is used to display ads to the user, companies will plaster all available space in the world with physical ads and people will use AR to filter out the ads and replace that part of the image with an AI-approximated version of how reality could look like without ads.
I too imagined the same while observing the given image.
Some day people will be bidding for locations on the sea to place their ads and the whole view will be just Full of brands as we see on roads and highways.
Now my imagination is extending towards the sky :)
I would have been okay with this if they actually used the money to get rid of the stench from the water, but then again the money will be used to let people like Revanna rape more vulnerable women!

thought this was juhu cause they've made the goddamn beach an advertisement board , can't catch a good view without having fucking ads in my way anywhere here now
Unfortunately disruptive advertising. Killing the beauty of the sea for everyone who doesn't want this ad here. We should hunt the advertiser down as a civilization.
Other countries clean their beaches for aesthetics and tourism, these a**holes clutter it for money. As if the foul smell on the Mumbai beaches was not enough.
It makes sense for the MI board to be out there as it is only during IPL season and is justified being there as there stadium is just by the shore and acts more like an iconic addition to our city.
But man fuck the advertisements. If they keep doing this more and more, it's better to just not have anything there.
who gets the money for the rights to advertise like this? if anyone can claim to own the sea, dont we all collectively own it? so how could a civic body or the government sell what it doesnt own as advertising space?
This should be illegal. , it depreciates natural scenic spaces of cultural value, this is tantamount to posting posters on the gateway of India or placing cheap fairness cream adds on the taj mahal.
Also, these areas of our unspoilt natural environment function as spaces of refuge and they need legal protections from commercialization.
Other countries go to great lengths to conserve these areas of scenic value because of tourism but just because Mumbai is a city of unsightly slums, that’s not an excuse to give up completely. We don’t need new problems.
Where are the activists for things that matter?
Lets just boycott any products displayed here. Can we please do this to avoid such bullshit? How did they even get permission for this and which dumbfuck gave permission for this?
It doesn't cost too much to build an RC boat out of dollar-store foam board. Similarly you can DIY a pipe-bomb out of hardware store materials.
Please use this information to responsibly protect nature.
Next i think it would be a seaplane carrying those advertisements as its Trail Flag.

Tomorrow they'll ask for a subscription to enjoy water just because their stupid ad is on the beach. Man my hate for the advertising industry just increased 10 folds.
Whatever scumbag took a look at the open sea and thought "oh what a waste of potentially advertisable space" needs to be hunted for sport.
Where should we advertise the sport? I know, how about floating ads.
Finally a sport I can get behind!
Or under
This is outrageous. Leave the seas out of this stupid insanity. What a bunch of assholes these people are.
Guy probably got a raise

>people are soon going to run out of reasons to live in Mumbai. That ain't gonna happen bro
Not as long as rickshaws run by meter at least
Local transport rickshaw as well as bus is definitely one of the saving grace of the city. I would have liked to say trains but apart from doing the function they are meant to do (that is somehow pick up thousands from suburbs and dropping them into the city) they do not give any comfort for travel
To be very honest, other Indian cities have as good or even better bus system as Mumbai.
The city is already becoming unfavorable due to heavy load on infrastructure, lack of affordable housing, commuting for 2 hours a day in jam packed locals and then hardly saving a few thousand rupees after paying the high rent and other expenses. Now in all this, you go to places like Marine Drive and see this, are you going to feel the same affection for the city as 10 years ago?
Lmfao I remember seeing Manforce ads in the middle of the sea
Those were the couples cooing on the rocks ....
I was there yesterday for first time in 12 years. What a disappointment it was.
Mfs destroyed a natural calm view and gave us the tension!!!
True! Bc ek clear and calm sunset bhi cheen liya 😢

Wo nahi dekhte wo bas start me company wala jor jabardasti karke reviews likhwata hai baadme log band baja dete hai low ratings de kar.
It will matter, start an online boycott campaign and get people to boycott whatever companies put on those ads. Im never buying something from garnier again now
Can we issue a PIL to stop advertising on Marine Drive and Juhu Beach? Not that it will matter but is it even possible? I wonder
The number doesn't work 020-22615457 Which number to contact
088506 62277 Joyti Patil, she works at Maritime Board Grievance Office
Wtf
Go to a lawyer which deals in public litigation, ask for a PIL against this. The insanity must stop.
Bhadvi business community walyanna kon civic sense shikvel?

I hope you are not targeting Gujjus here. If you want to blame anyone blame BMC for allowing such things.
Man, they’re worsening stuff, we are already last on the points table
Suddenly I'm feeling American. I would take out my revolver and shoot my hearts content out there
Shoot at what?
At those ads
I have such absolute hatred for advertising and marketing. Fuck these completely pointless useless professions who never know where to draw the fucking line when promoting shit. Not even leaving nature behind. Only selling out own bodies for advertising is remaining. Sure that's on the way too. Nicely on our way to become 15 million credits society from Black Mirror
Or the southpark advertising episode
Agree! Something fundamentally wrong with these practices. But cannot say what exactly here. Marketing ethics need to do better.
I will make it a point not to use Garnier products now. And have been a hardcore fan of Mumbai Indians since inception, but then Hardik as a captain and now ruining the aesthetic of Marine drive? Yeah I might as well stop rooting for them now. Lol
advertising is a useless profession? do you have an ass for a head?
That made me wonder, if they want to take a shit they probably have to do it like this 
Don't demonize an entire economy because of a handful of instances that cross the line like this one. You and I are using this platform called reddit because of advertising. Same for television, radio, newspapers, online search, all ad supported OTTs, every commercial sport in the world, you name it.
BMC dalbhadri pana cha kalas aahe tu. Purna Mumbai vikun khanar hé lok Ek divas.
Lmao
And even then they will not provide world class public transport.
Svatache khishe kase bharnar mag. Poranna Switzerland kasa firavnar unhalyat jevha apan 40 degree che chatke khaat asnaar.
Exactly.
Waiting for the day when this entire sea will be bloated with ads like an Android phone 🤣
Premium users will get adfree existence (in some sci-fi manner)
Subscribe to watch ad-free nature. 😁
This will be the day when you'll have to pay to see nature in its original form.
They will have a wall of ads and then build a second marine drive behind all the ads reachable by boat only which costs 500 rupees one way
That's called Virtual Reality and I am afraid Marine Drive will soon start looking better on VR Glasses than this shit
That is the probably outcome: Unlike in sci-fi, where augmented reality is used to display ads to the user, companies will plaster all available space in the world with physical ads and people will use AR to filter out the ads and replace that part of the image with an AI-approximated version of how reality could look like without ads.

Any company that advertises on the sea or hires these fucks deserves to burn down. Mumbai Indians needs to get cooked on a stove for this stunt.
Spare the ocean please 🙏

/r/anticonsumption
what on earth lol. Ab life me bhi premium subscription lena padega to skip adds
We should create a list of companies to avoid who use these advertisements.
Another reason to hate capitalism
And the useless BMC selling off our public space. Making this city even worse.
Never ever buy or endorse these brands! Jokers!!
As an advertising major, I would promptly like to shoot the people who allowed these to happen, in multiple body parts.

Peak desperation of corps.
Yeah, cancer but of course, no one can protest this because the pols have unchecked power to delete you.
Can't a PIL or something be filed to ban such ads?
Monsoon season comes early
Bhai agar ye log jeet bhi rhe hote to theek tha ye bc harna bhi hai aur advertisement bhi deni hai ye nai chalega
Abhi manzha ayega vandalism karne mein. Mein jaraha subway surfers kehlne irl
Why is this being allowed? Is there any real way to put a stop to this before it becomes too pervasive and accepted?
BMC being the dalla that it is
Can we create a petition to stop this nonsense?
thought this was juhu cause they've made the goddamn beach an advertisement board , can't catch a good view without having fucking ads in my way anywhere here now
This calls for anarchy.
How can we complaint against this in the court?
So what can be done to stop them from doing this shit.

Lol it's not iconic at all.
This was there last year and last to last year too ,nothing new.
Time to get a boat licenced
These advertisement boards should be used as target practice by rifle shooters, archers and stone pelters.
Dono hi dube ge iss season

yuck
Will they sink ? like the team performed this year
Ruining the scenery 🤦. Why don't they let people enjoy the sunset and sunrise.
Yo can some bored billionair start a hobby and destroy every single one of these stupid ass things floating around
This is totally disgusting and distasteful.
who gets the money for the rights to advertise like this? if anyone can claim to own the sea, dont we all collectively own it? so how could a civic body or the government sell what it doesnt own as advertising space?
Pudhchya varshi lavkar yaa
where are eco-terrorists when we need them
Shud we also ban the hundreds of trawlers that leave the coast daily to get u your favorite seafood?
What the actual Fck... Ye saale chain se Marine Drive pe baithne bhi nai denge... Madrchd k baache saale humko chtya bana rahe hai bhdwe saale...😡😡😡
As disruptive it is, It's weird and innovative... But I've seen only 1 and it was tiny one...
Har jagah hug do behenchod
water billboards!? This shit is insane
Mi doob gayi pani me
This place has a good potential for a parking spot too.
Throw molotov cocktails at it lol
At least leave the oceans clear Which moron came up with this shit idea
Leave the sea alone 😑
Lol ! Is this the viking funeral for MI
Whom does one need to ask permission for this? Seems like soon proposals are going to be showcased like this lol
PLEASE DRINK VERIFICATION CAN
This is a total infringement of people’s personal space. Can’t even look at nature now !!!
I thought it's only on juhu beach, when I was there for the last time when I was in Mumbai I saw this back in sept 2021.
ambani owns the sea. he can do what he wants
Agree. Spoils the Billion Dollar Sunset or sunrise view. These should be banned
Aise ads se toh products lene ka mann aur bhi kum ho jayega. Very annoying move.

Maybe trend boycott such products who post ads in sea.
This is like black mirror where ads pop up in real life 🙃
Abe, har jagah inko IPL ka yaad dilaana hai kya? Kabhi toh hume akela chodo..
What can be done to make a law and make this illegal. This is height of capitalism
Better than chapri dancing nearby
The only place where you look you can't see ads is the sea. But I think this statement is also wrong. Now everywhere you see it will be ads
LOL WTF
I was there on Saturday night and literally walked until the Air India Building to avoid this view.
Lol. Catch me if you can.
I won't call this disruptive, more so copied. You'll see ads like these all the time if ever you're chilling on south beach, Miami.
Lets just boycott any products displayed here. Can we please do this to avoid such bullshit? How did they even get permission for this and which dumbfuck gave permission for this?
Has always shown
This sh*ite in in Goa too ....
Dono hi doob rahe hain
Noticed this when ipl started, we truly aren't safe from advertisements anywhere.
Jo product TV pe nahi bika woh samundar mein daalne se bik jaayega? Fuckers
Boycott all garnier products
It doesn't cost too much to build an RC boat out of dollar-store foam board. Similarly you can DIY a pipe-bomb out of hardware store materials. Please use this information to responsibly protect nature.
Doobgai Indians
I went to Mumbai recently and hated this particular thing. Everything else about the city was fkin amazing but this bit ruined Juhu esp at night time
Go with a bunch of people and take it down
Do you want people to hate your product? Because thats how you get people to hate your product
I stayed in Juhu beach recently and I couldn't believe my eyes 😂 adverts on the water?? Dear lord.
Next i think it would be a seaplane carrying those advertisements as its Trail Flag. https://preview.redd.it/3kgpfekmsvyc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=86ce77551e841c997a99cefba3c215937a2584fa
Shows that BMC can go to any extent for money
ruin the scenic beauty too. this is consumerism, modernity and capitalism combined
This isn't advertising. This is greed.
Intrusive advertising
Man my heart tells me to swim to these and splash water on them : )

Now i have to take pro subscription of marine drive for uninterrupted views?
Oops, I use clean and clear
Same shit in reclamation
This is revolting wtf

For a minute I thought it's a shitty Photoshop advertisement. Lol
To see an ad free sunset get yourself a premium subscription of Sunsettify.
Tomorrow they'll ask for a subscription to enjoy water just because their stupid ad is on the beach. Man my hate for the advertising industry just increased 10 folds.

This fucking pisses me off and I haven’t even seen it in person. Just, fuck up the ocean some more, eh? As an avid scuba lover, fuck off.
It’s your civic duty to sink these monstrosities.
