Doug Daulton: In contrast to Mahmood’s bad TV commercials, here is a powerful example of intelligent advertising. Jerry, a fellow videophile, sent me this commercial which was banned in Canada for being too graphic. Now, I like the avante garde commercial as much as the next person, particularly when they call out the cognitive dissonace that is America’s love/hate relationship with sex. Thinking I was getting a little tongue-in-cheek dig at American sensibilities, I fired up Windows Media Player.
I encourage everyone involved in television production in the Gulf to read Doug’s post and experience how powerful commercials with a message could be done. This one does contain violence and language and has been banned in Canada, but the message is very clear and goes to the point.
