LG Viewty - "for men and women," says Deepika

All right, this one is a bit late in coming in, but that surely does not make it any less memorable. A week or so ago, Deepika Padukone had many of us giggling at the launch of LG's much-hyped (and rather nice) Viewty phone, when she said that the phone could be used by both men and women. Wow! We had never known of any phone that couldn't. Perhaps this is a new marketing angle from LG. Perhaps the next thing we will hear is that one can not only talk on the phone, but also hear the other person on it.

All of which proves one thing - you can bring a celeb to a launch, but you can seldom make him or her talk sense! Although the shutterbugs would rather ogle the likes of Ms Padukone, we would rather see a tech person who knows the product they are talking about. Mind you, celebs do give us more reason to laugh.
