A billboard in Chennai has astronomically boosted the profile of Assana Colorectal & Gut Wellness Clinic, thanks to its out-of-this-world pun.

"Let Elon explore Mars, our mission is Uranus," the ad cheekily reads, playfully nodding to Elon Musk's SpaceX ambitions while highlighting the clinic's focus on gut health.

Shared by X user @Rainmaker1973, the pic has garnered over 1.1 million views and counting. The billboard has sparked widespread discussion and admiration for its creativity.

"Whoever named it Uranus had no idea of the long-term repercussions and running joke with that name," said one user, while another added: "That's a hilarious and clever ad, definitely grabs attention while staying on message."

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
