Yeap and this ad proves what you're saying. They're giving the wrong message to the wrong people and there's no quality control department that could screen them before they go live.

It's the other way around; they don't have brains.

All praises for the state-run PTV.

Just got to know something. Govt. of Dubai have Banned Some very Famous Brands of Shampoos According to Report Following Companies have been banned due to the presence of a very dangerous chemical Sodium Laureth Sulfate in their Products !

Sodium Laureth Sulfate


CLEAR , FRUCTIS ,Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal , Body Shop





All these Shampoos use a chemical called SLS which is actually a floor cleaner. They are used so as to produce more foam.
Imagine what a floor cleaner can do to you hair and scalp. It will damage the very roots of your scalp.
Go and Have a Look on your Shampoo, It may Also have Same Chemical!
Check out for SLS in toothpaste too!!!

Use the ones which are free from this extremely harmful chemical.

There are quality control departments, that screen things before they are verified and authenticated. However, if the advertising companies would start selling only quality products and necessary products, then 50% advertisement companies would go bankrupt over night and in the long run only top 10% would survive.

actually everything is driven by the buyer and the user. if users start insisting on quality certifications and do not buy sub-standard products, then for short term, they would be in mess, but in the long run they would emerge as winners. However, ad companies do realize that this would not be the general public or human nature that is the reason that their graph is always on the up towards right where as we, the users, always keep on complaining that we dont have quality products.

so it is a viscious cycle and seems quite difficult to get rid of it

ofcourse adeel. i dont know about a hundred years ago, but in today's world the honest way to do business as is taught by our Holy Prophet in his Sunnah, is not followed by a huge majority and only making MONEY is the top priority and they do not choose their means to achieve this target.

to re-iterate, I do agree with you that corporate world, more or less is evil.

let me give you an example.
the chocholates and candies that we do not eat in japan since they have gelatine in them (gelatine is derived from lard which is the fat molecules inside the pig) and 99% gelatine comes from pig. Now the chocholates that we dont eat in japan, are sold in pakistan and people eat without even questioning them.

I have seen israeli perfumes in pakistan being sold without any fear or shame

so in order to make fast money, evil comes into play. that is why i can never be a good business man

And the corporate world keeps on switching the names of ingredients. I personally stay away from all the E anything because you never know.

PS: Whats wrong with Israeli products? They follow kosher standards, if I am not wrong.

i guess so, but israeli products have nothing to do with kosher-ness. it is more of a social kind of thing. israelis are making huge money by holding the drug formulas, perfumeries, cosmetics, and many other things. whereas, there biggest market is the muslim world. so isnt it a shame to be supporting the jew cause by buying their stuff?. because all the stuff we buy, is not our basic need. it is luxury oriented products. but anyway, that is how i feel and others dont have to agree

Bhai jaan, the processors we have inside our pcs (xeon) are basically zion. It's hard to find a company which doesn't have a Jewish stake in it.

true. but then again it is the question of judgement.
if we commit one sin, then should we forget adhering to the DOs and DONTs?
as for processors, it is understandable that since we do not have any OPTION, but in terms of things that we can avoid, wouldnt that be imperitive to test one's "TAQWA" tere?

but it is the decision of individuals and if they dont feel that way, it is their choice. I, for one, would prefer to stick with my ideology

Your useless product is?
haha that happened to my cousins as well. I think chopsticks are fairly useless
