Showtime Arabia throws a ‘Boomerang’

Showtime Arabia has announced that it will add ‘the classic animation channel Boomerang’ to four of its top packages.

According to to Showtime Arabia, this ” further reinforces Showtime’s position as a leader in the region, not only for young viewers but also for the young at heart. ”

Well, it’s actually true that grown-ups can enjoy cartoons like Top Cat, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones and others.

In the words of Peter Einstein, President and CEO of Showtime Arabia “who can resist Daffy Duck and Scooby Doo?”

But, the channel is primarily aimed at the 4–9 age group segment. (the press release says so!)

For now, the Showtime Arabia website doesn’t mention Boomerang. But, here’s a link to it anyway.

Andrew’s forehead available for advertising… again!

Andrew Fischer, also known as the “Forehead Guy,” who received international attention after successfully marketing and selling advertising space on his forehead last year, has just announced plans to make his forehead available for corporate branding once again.

Back in January 2005, he wore a temporary tattoo on his forehead and managed to raise over $50,000 for doing so!

Seems like Andrew is out of money, or that he plans to create the world’s first periodical (annual) forehead media tool!

Surely, us Arabs have wider and more prominent forheads which are more suitable for advertising!

Anyway, check out the auctioning madness here.
