The dream came true. Finally, Ricky Ponting topped in the Google India News which decides the ad rates by pushing hot celebrities like Team Anna, Salman Khan and Lokpal Bill downwards.
When a reporter asked him whether this would allow Ricky to hike his ad rates in India, Ricky said "That I can't disclose but one thing is sure, Google News is very popular news search engine in India and considered as a ranking for hot celebrities. Many celebrities do a lot of things to get displayed on the top 5 stories of the site. I have heard about one beautiful girl Poonam Pandey who inspired Indian team to win the World Cup by promising them to show her topless body. Google News recognised the importance of this hot celebrity and showed on the top of all the pages which shoot her ad rates to sky highs."
He indicated that now he would be able to sign contracts with Indian companies for endorsing their brands. "I am fed up with small companies like Volvoline and now wants to endorse for the big brands like 'Fair and Handsome', 'Amul Butter' and 'Sun Screen Lotions' for Indian companies," he informed the reporters.
But why he is bullish on Indian ad makers and why is he so happy, when a reporter asked Ricky he wittingly said "Boss! it is recession over here, pay and packages are reduced half while in India ad spending is going up day by day."
Ricky's secretary informed Press "Ricky is Risky! That is the tag line suggested by Pralhad Kakkar. We plan to appoint him to market Risky Ricky while we have also appointed greatest management guru ever IIPM great Arindam Choudhary as a consultant. We expect few companies will start contacting by end of this season when Ricky will come at least 10 times on the top of the Google news pages."
