The Indian advertising client is the reason why scientists worldwide insist on proving the theory of human evolution flawed. But on the other hand, he even makes a "talent-less hack" (read advertising professional) seem clever.

4. "Can you Photoshop the man's hair to make him look Indian?"

5. "Let's discuss the brief at lunch, hope you will deliver it by the evening."

13. "We don’t have the budget for a photo-shoot but please make sure my product looks sexy and appealing."

14. (By far the most shitty remark I have heard in my career). "Why don’t you ask the creative team to smoke up and come up with a big idea?"
