The one and the only Q of Kuwaitism and I are working on something really cool. It’s has something to do with advertising in this region.

We need a name.

Funny, meaningful, easy to understand for non-arabic speakers and professional.

The prize is to be decided by Q.
(Free sushi consultancy services for a year?)

My sources are telling me that Fasttelco’s DSL users are enjoying a block-free net connection since , like, three days. I need more people confirming this, please.

If that’s true, I wonder what happened to the “Islamic, Family, Social Values”?

Oh so I just realized that today is my blog’s first anniversary. So yeah, thanks everybody for being the beautiful people you are, this blog wouldn’t be alive without your amazing feedback.

Umm … I don’t know what to say really .. but yeah, I really wanted to throw a party with strippers and stuff but you know I can’t afford that since I lost my job and all (not because we are in kuwait or anything, no, not at all. :p )

It sucks when I remember posting about this at the last two hours in this day.

P.S: Virtual gifts are welcomed

I got an idea … as a gift, name the best post on the extravaganza.

Thanks everybody.

Rock on

A lot of things are bothering me about this ad.

First of all, nobody really can write something with lines that thick with a pen/ marker/ chalk this thin. (Unless you use the whole width of the chalk to do that and judging by the way he’s holding this thing he didn’t do that.)

Nobody ever will write on a board with this position, he’s using his left hand and he wrote all of that stuff on his right side. Just try it, you might hurt yourself. It’s just like Juha’s ear story.

Last but not least, the area around the model’s eyes is kinda dark. He looks more like a drug addict. PLEASE SHAVE, and would somebody please invest, like, five minutes in retouching the model’s face, pimples are so out of fashion

Stop using the ad agency employees as models.

KDD has been using this image in their milk campaign since, like, 4 years and I still see they didn’t fix the problem I was laughing at 4 years ago. Well, the headline in the ad roughly translated says “I don’t compromise when it comes to my family’s health, KDD … the family’s milk” .

From the first sight I couldn’t ignore the yellow line near the father/ grandfather’s mouth which is apparently some out-of-focus dead yellow grass. It looked to me as if the old geezer is smoking while he’s playing with the kid.

Yes, Smoking is healthy. No compromises about your family’s health.

Not the best ad in the world but it’s way better than the previous two. Now would you please replace the posters in the streets too?

So I came in late, but who’s counting? I brought donuts for every body which was highly appreciated by some of the guys who were obviously starving. I sat on my desk knowing I will not actually do anything today. I spent some time on the net. I ate my last lunch.

Then there was the most awful thing, cleaning my desk. My co-workers were unusually concentrating on their screens and avoiding any eye contact. I wasn’t feeling sad or anything, It was just weird.

I wrote everybody a thanks letter for the good time I spent with them and I left my contact info. Shook hands with everybody and I left.
