Krikita (Lebanon) by rogermazz

This may seem silly but there’s something that caught my attention from the first time I saw this ad. How the hell was the girl able to snatch a cricri from the guy’s bag while jogging? This calls for an experiment.

(To be continued)

I like the worldplay in this ad, but I don’t think many will understand they are actually talking about Waterproof Glass, not with that picture at least.

Christmas has passed, New Year’s eve is over, Armenian Orthodox Christmas was last week, we are in the middle of January 2012 yet NYE billboards are still everywhere and Christmas decorations are still found in all malls and shops and on the streets.

Maybe everyone’s waiting for the perfect storm to take them out?

This ad is so freaking lame! It’s like they have no creativity whatsoever.

Beirut/NTSC on the other hand sure knows how to mock them.

” Only an exclusive few will realize the greatness of this event and take immediate action to be part of it. The World’s #1 DJ Armin Van Buuren accompanied by the biggest ever selection of international performers and the most extravagant and high-tech setup for the one and only NYE’s eve pre-party of the decade at Biel”.

I stopped listening at “pre-party”. I don’t know about others, but why would I want to attend an NYE-1 party? What’s the point of celebrating NYE a day earlier? And how will I be able to attend another NYE party the next day? Are Pre-NYE parties popular around the world?

I heard there’s an NYE-2 party in Lebanon as well but I forgot where it was.

There’s one day left before Christmas eve and the bottle is almost filled. If the Giant Heineken was truly automatically synchronized with the website, and no manual intervention occurred, then the timing of the campaign was perfect.

Now what they should do is come up with a real giant Heineken bottle and invite beer lovers to drink it.

This is even worse than Moukarzel’s “Mon Bijou, Mon Droit” ad.

I passed by this morning after 7:30am and the Heineken Green Bottle was lit!

As explained yesterday by one of the people behind the campaign, the bottle is in direct synch with the digital feed and lights up in specific hours during the day (7:30AM-10:00AM & 3:45PM-2:00AM).

If you wish to help light up the Heineken Giant Bottle before Christmas, all you have to do is visit ColorYourChristmas.com.

Weird weird weird looking display!

Does anyone understand the title of this post?

Why is she secretly asking about her loan? Is it a shame to get a personal loan or a matter of national security?

It’s very sad that we still need to campaign against beating women in Lebanon.

Everytime I see such campaigns, I can’t help but remember the LBC interview with some Taliban-loving Sheikh on how to beat your wife.

I noticed the billboard for the new “Puss in Boots” while stuck in traffic on the seaside road. I wonder why they changed the name from Puss in boots to Cat in boots. I’ve seen posters for this movie in cinemas in Lebanon and they had the word puss in it. Is it because puss is one letter away from the female genital? (Keeping it PG-13). They should rename the movie “Feline in tall shoes”

For Bussneis!

Italian store Benetton on Wednesday launched a provocative publicity campaign with photo montages showing the pope kissing an imam on the lips and the U.S. president smooching his Chinese counterpart. [Naharnet]

You know what’s missing to this ad? A picture of Alloush and Chukur smooching.
