Message Delivered

With the advent of technology, being in touch is never a problem these days, that too when you have a facility of carrying an instrument called the cellular phone that lets you stay in touch. This techonology gave birth to the short messaging service or the SMS. This sms is a boon at times but at times can get you in such a situation where you are confused whether to laugh or to get angry, that too when you recieve calls and messages from the service provider, or as advertisements at theperfect time when you don't want to get them.
I have have had one such experience. I was sitting in a class, and then i got the following message:
A famous brand name of condoms,
then their slogan line: Once you try it you would never do without it. Heightens pleasure and prolongs it.
And the next line said the most ridiculous thing:Special offer on king size packs. To order in bulk, please contact and a contact no.


This message made me wonder!! I was scratching my head. If a person wants one, then he can go to the nearest chemist or the drugstore and get 1, 2 or 3 or as per need. What was the motive behind this ad on sms? This ad would have helped a general store owner or a drug store personnel, but sending it to some individuals that too as an advertisement left me in a bit of an irritated state, as it seemed quite odd to me.
Half our class had a horselaugh seeing that sms. Was one incident that i cannot forget!!!
