The Zoozoos’ house has got kids now – Cute baby Zoozoos. Now India’s already-scary population is going to have an even scarier time. Anyway the Baby Zoozooz are here now. And they are quite cute (check out the image I cut out from the Vodafone page).
Cellular service provider Vodafone’s cute mascots the “Zoozoos” are probably the cuddliest things that ever happened to this side of the solar system. Whenever they pop up on the TV screen (or find them on my Facebook newsfeed) I am like “Awwww, just like my tiny niece Daphne” and such sentimental stuff tough guys – especially fair, average height and tolerable-looking Journalists – ought not publicly display.
But that’s a different story. Our story is about baby Zoozoozs. Welcome, babies.
Here is the story: The other day, April 16, Tuesday, I was sifting throughYoutube and there was that familiar red-and-white banner advertisement from Vodafone topping the landing page. The Zoozoos were all there, dressed in white and looking all round and potbellied as usual.
Anyway I couldn’t wait to listen to this new monster US Progressive Metal band called Animals As Leaders.’ So I rushed ahead (boy, somebody out to tell YouTube to pull down those sponsored Gangnam Style video ads on the sidebar – I’m already starting to involuntarily dance like Mr. PSY’s Horse dance when I walk). I rushed to the search bar to get my band.
Waitaminute.
What was it?
I clicked the ‘back’ button and Vodafone’s red banner ad was still there. Something not very usual was going on in here. Something looked different. I looked closer.
There it was.
Or more precisely, there they were.
Little Zoozoos. Tiny Zoozoos. Hundreds of little, tiny potbellied, baby Zoozoos. In little, tiny, pot-shaped green helmets! What?
Here is the screen shot of the baby Zoozoos I took:
Man, I thought I’d shrivel all up feeling cuddly cute looking at those super wiggly, cuddly, cute things in helmets. I know the Zoozoos got married maybe (in 2010?) but I didn’t know Mrs. Zoozoo was expecting new arrivals all these years. How come we didn’t get to see them. I mean my nephew and nieces Googoo, Leah and Daphne, Vanessa and nephews Julian and Calvin and our entire population tiny terrors at home here know the Zoozoos by name and sticker – but even they didn’t know about the tiny Zoozoos.
Curious, I searched Google for (don’t laugh at my search terms) “Tiny Zoozoo”, “little Zoozoos” and even “super cute many cute Zoozoos green helmets” but nothing turned up among the literally lakhs of Zoozoo-related results. Even websites made no mention of baby Zoozoos.
EXCEPT ONE. Just one. The Google search results threw up only one image that had baby Zoozoos. It showed a big crowd of helmet wearing little Zoozoos. I went to the source of the picture and lo – it was from Vodafone’s official Zoozoo page on Facebook. I checked the date of upload – one day ago.
Meaning, the banner with the baby Zoozoos was uploaded on April 15. Meaning, you are reading an exclusive, news-breaking (cough* cough*..cough*) blog post about the birth of India’s first generation of Baby Zoozoos. Now all the national dailies will be writing about baby Zoozooz. Yay. Clap. Clap. Clap. I love being a Zoozoo journalist too.
Anyway the news is out now – the Zoozoos’ got babies now. Hundreds of them. Welcome, baby Zoozoos, we have no idea what the helmets are for but they are definitely cute 🙂
*PS: I know Mrs. Zoozoo’s got the big Oomph but when did Mr. and Mrs. Zoozoo find the time to..cough…make so many of those tiny stuff. It definitely looks like the manufacturing process took a great deal of energy. Mr. Zoozoo must be a huge fan of Red Bull.
I fear for their college fees now.
