'Swachh Bharat taken too far': Matrimonial ad's funny fumble in Bengaluru sweeps the internet

Advertisements on walls and hoardings are a common sight in any city, especially in cosmopolitan cities like Bengaluru. However, mistakes on these hoardings are also quite frequent.

One such error was spotted on a wall near Nayandahalli, where a matrimonial service was being advertised. Instead of reading 'Bride and Groom Information Centre,' the sign displayed 'Bride and Broom Information Centre.'

The ad also claimed to offer services in multiple languages, including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malyalam and Gujarati.

X user, @Theshashank_p, shared the photo on the micro-blogging platform, which prompted netizens to come up with hilarious replies to it.

On user wrote, "Hence proved, Husband's place is in the corner!" Another wrote, "After marriage groom will be handed a broom." A third one wrote, "Swachh Bharat is getting out of control now."

The post, at the time of writing, has already garnered over 1 lakh views on the platform.

Another user, reacting to the post, wrote, "Those Brides will bring SWEEPING changes to Marriages."

There were also many references to witches, who are usually associated to brooms. One user wrote, "Must be school for witches!" Another wrote, "Inspired by Harry Potter!"

The Aam Aadmi Party was also referenced by some, with one writing, " Suits @AAPKarnataka"

While this ad might have done its job purely through a typo, quirky ads which utilise various methods to get your attention aren't uncommon in Bengaluru.

Sometime back, many posters popped up on Chruch street and MG road, which read,"Rakesh, I know you are cheating on me with Shreya. I have the proof! The picture don't lie," followed by a QR code, which when scanned, led to a Google form by a cosmetics brand.
