1. Please give some supportive write-up for the poll. Though it ‘looks’ self explanatory, its actually not.
2. How are you? Gave up sneezing or you still like it?
3. Cheers. And Read point 1 again.

@ all – Thanks for Voting!
@ Vims – You are part of the majority voters!! Yeay! Yeay!
Explanation for poll:
There is a gender bias in the ads, but I guess the issue is at some level so deep rooted in us, that we don’t see the bias anymore.
The poll was a fall out of reading the debates between feminists and advertising gurus, who said the same as above – i.e. – that ads reflect the society’s perspective, and if there is a gender bias in the ads, its because that truly does exist in society.
The poll results are a sample, very small in number to prove a point, but none the less, point is proved, i guess.
I didn’t want to influence the minds of people who wanted to caste a vote, because there is a possibility you will see the bias now that I have mentioned it. Not to stress, I saw the bias only after reading the debates myself!
@Suda – New picture! New picture! Yeay! No more sneezing.. Yeay!
