   Mark,

   As an ad man I’m surprised you haven’t seen those before. These are all made by an Egyptian Ad company started up by 2 bilingual Egyptian Canadian girls. Here is a much much funnier campaign by the same company:

    The best advertising and marketing in the Arab World comes out of Egypt. By FAR. This shit is amazing!

    Melody always makes awesome self-promo ads. Man I came up with hella of these for another client BEFORE melody even put out any of theirs. The adv market in kuwait really sucks for any creativity :(

    Holla, you wouldn’t be able to get away with a 1/10th of what they can do in Egypt without having the censors and the wahabis all over your ass. There is creativity here, its just stifled.

    I will have to agree with abdulla comment # 8. Melody Aflam’s commercials never made me laugh.

    Yeah you’re right Moobs but also the general Adv. mentality in the whole region is messed up. People are either doing shitty hard-selling ads or produce overly pretentious awards-only material. Hardly anyone produces both GOOD and relevant ads.
