  I remember that we presented the same “tag” idea but unfortunately the client didn’t like it ….

  Shouldn’t the breast have a few swipes of big black marker over it?

• 5. sam  |  October 29th, 2008 at 4:05 pm

  SCAM. this won’t happen in the UAE and anyone sees the retouching? LOL

• 9. kre8tive  |  October 31st, 2008 at 10:46 am

  Come on, Ogilvy Dubai… do something useful and beneficial for your clients, this thing just shows that you haven’t much job and a lot free time to do cr*p than real work. Duh!

  Kre8tive.

  It’s not a scam and it’s not a bad idea.

  Now…take a deep breath…sit down at at a table near you.

  Put your right elbow onto the surface.

  Then put your right hand into a fist. Tight.

  Now smash it into your face very hard.

  Repeat for half an hour.

• 12. Louai Alasfahani  |  October 31st, 2008 at 10:30 pm

• 13. Zeid Nasser  |  October 31st, 2008 at 11:38 pm

  You have to ’stay alert’ Louai before you make your comments

• 14. kre8tive  |  November 1st, 2008 at 8:52 am

  Whatever Creative Rules, No need to be violent, no need to act like an uneducated F**k, I understand you love your work, but what can I do? It’s a scam?! Why don’t you smash the mannequin in your face? Lol. Get on with your life.

• 15. creative rules  |  November 1st, 2008 at 3:04 pm

  Who said it’s a scam? You? I wish Ogilvy would respond to this.

  When are you ever going to say anything positive or constructive on this site? Honestly mate it’s easy to rubbish everything like you do. Much much harder to recognize good work and know it when you see it. There is some very good work shown on this blog by people who have worked extremely hard to do it and sell it and it needs to be rewarded and complimented.

  Now you can stop punching yourself in the face and think positively.

• 16. Louai Alasfahani  |  November 1st, 2008 at 3:45 pm

  It is clear that the missing Brest is a result of a poorly conducted photo-shop surgical procedure…which means the mannequin is NOT displayed with one Brest; furthermore in this part of the world; the display of naked (or half naked mannequins) is strictly prohibited by law - even if placed inside the shop.

  So even though the concept might be appealing but the fact is that it is a SCAM intended only to compete unethically with actually published and paid for work by other agencies.

  Let’s get some facts straight…what is the client name? In which shop is the mannequin displayed? Which mall?

  I would really love to hear Ogilvy’s reply on this SCAM. Is it a nice idea? Well, nice idea indeed but for dumb ass people like creative rules, LOL. Who the F**k do y’ou think you’re fooling here? Try this idea somewhere else, this aint working with people who has the trained eye and better understanding of the market, come on, if you’re smart enough, tell us where in the UAE they had this mannequin and i’ll go and check it out myself, Louai, you’re in this? well, if not, then why don’t you creative rules just shut the F**k up and smash this scam in your face.

• 18. Creative rules  |  November 1st, 2008 at 9:49 pm

  Yeah come on Louai and Ogilvy tell us which shop this appeared in. Let’s crucify the bastards. Ke8tive and Louai are on to something really big and important here. Shit this is bigger than watergate.LOL

• 19. kre8tive  |  November 1st, 2008 at 10:13 pm

  Can’t wait to see the bare naked truth about a scam Ogilvy Dubai did, such cheap attempt! Crucify the idiots who did this, sharpen those nails and shove them up Creative Rules’ a**! ROTFL

• 20. Louai Alasfahani  |  November 1st, 2008 at 10:30 pm

  i repeat the question…what is the client name? In which shop is the mannequin displayed? Which mall?

• 21. Anis  |  November 2nd, 2008 at 5:07 pm

  I hope it did not scare women who entered the showroom hoping to make their two breasts look more beautiful; and found a lady with one missing. At lest they could leave the showroom without buying any lingerie thanking God for wo breasts… I salute the store that allowed it; if anyone actually did.

• 22. Secret Window  |  November 3rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
