		<description>@ankesh I was not commenting upon its persuasive qualities. I expressed so myself in the third sentence. :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You are right though. Ads need to sell. And when they don&#039;t, they are practically pointless.</description>

		<description>The sprite ad is very entertaining.  But how persuasive is it?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How many people will choose a sprite over pepsi next time because of the ad?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(In fact, how many people in India will drink sprite instead of water to quench their thirst?  Which is what the sprite ad promises: sprite bujhaye pyaas.)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I dont know why people rate ads on their entertainment value.  And give awards to them because they are creative.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The purpose of an ad is to sell more products.  If it doesn&#039;t do that - its not a good ad.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sprite definitely will win a few ad awards.  But its nowhere close to winning the cola ad wars!</description>
