Gee, judging by the work coming out of the Middle East lately, I smell some Lions on the horizon.
This campaign is simple stunning.
2. Dozero | August 20th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Simply, This is how the ME creativity should be.
3. shakemo | August 20th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Umm..Dozy, I was joking.
4. Dozero | August 20th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Umm… Shakshuka, me too.
5. BigBrother | August 20th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Not joking, this is very good.

I hope their not talking about their food court restaurants because I cant remember any restaurant or outlet with the same cutlery etc…:) I like this a lot actually…
9. quick comment | August 20th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
this is very simple and elegant i wouldnt diss it guys, i doubt you or your team can do any better and if you can i havent seen it on this blog.
The only dissapointing thing is the photography and props, sorry Jerry Balloch but the lighting is terrible.
10. shakemo | August 20th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Cheers Dozy.

Quote from Quick Comment: “I doubt you or your team can do any better and if you can i havent seen it on this blog”.
Stop trying to put down any of your competitor’s work seen on this blog. I notice we rarely see anything from Publicis here. LOL
Nice clean simple stuff Tribe.
12. quick comment | August 20th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Zeid and everybody, please see the post above. You are my witness. I have minded my own business and havent mentioned Paranoid creative rules once and look who started an argument.
13. Creative rules | August 20th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
And it’s a very good and valid argument. I’ll say it again. How come we don’t see much work from Publicis Zeid?
14. amre husseini - AKA BITE ME | August 20th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Creative rules seriously you are starting to look like a child now, quick comment is not me and is not part of Publicis Graphics Jordan.
To answer your question why you dont see the work of Publicis on this site; because we dont spend hours writing rationale and sending it along with artwork for adblogarabia to upload; especially when I am not interested in your critic of our work; as it is only based on your attitude towards the agency rather than towards the quality of the work.
Go back to work
15. Creative rules | August 20th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
As you well know Zeid put all this work on not us and he didn’t ask for any rational so you are completely wrong yet again.
16. quick comment | August 20th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
hahaha, amre youre like a dr jekyl and mr hyde. mate dont preach me on the other post and have a go at creative rules now.
this is getting out of control.
17. quick comment | August 20th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
ps creative rules, i never wrote “very nice” for those cozmos ads, someone must have used my name.
i only speak the truth.
18. quick comment | August 20th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
sorry amre, i miss read your comments.
sorry about that, i read it too fast.
19. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 20th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Creative rules to take a direct quote from your post on the cozmo ads…
“Unfortunetly there are two executions missing from this campaign. They’re better then the ones above and they’ve both been sent to Zeid but for some reason (after asking him so nicely) he won’t put them in. So now you can’t judge this campaign properly.”
So I think once again you’ve put your foot in your mouth with post 15 above so its you who’s wrong again…
If you would like I can go back further and pull out other clear statements where you clearly prove that you are the one sending your work…
Before you answer next time make sure you remember your own statements
20. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 20th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
No worries quick comment, from tracking the posts I am in total agreement with u that creative rules took the first stab at u so as I’ve stated before “i may not agree with what you’re saying (i dont on many occasions btw), but I will defend your right to say it:)
21. Tricky | August 21st, 2008 at 12:54 am
the idea is fine but TITANIC , KING KONG AND HAPPY FEET !!!!!! Come on guys you can do better than that, i mean i wouldnt go to a dinner to watch these movies…
22. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 4:19 am
Amre, Now you go like creative rules
To be clear your words above was for me. and i am not quick comment.
I have no other identities and really there is someone knows what is happening here and he use the same identity to prove to ppl here that i am using different names (like what happened in dominos pizza ad). and i don’t care for that i dosen’t prove anything.
I don’t have a child brain like shakemo (creative rules) did
and the other stupid gay Gibbo or Ghaba2o..
Creative rules, believe it or not you are the worst blogger here.
23. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 5:40 am
BTW creative rules you forgot to comment on these ads instead of thinking shit.
and go back to be a copywriter. you still need several years to be a junior creative director.
24. Creative Rules | August 21st, 2008 at 7:46 am
Amre, with reference to your post #19 above.
ZEID I HOPE YOU’RE READING THIS!!!
Zeid entered the first three Cozmo ads without asking us (which he is intitled to do) and didn’t show the other two (Which I think are the best IMO) He obviously didn’t have a copy of them so I sent them to him to complete the campaign. (No rationale)
RIGHT ZEID?
Wrong comment from you yet again. Aren’t you tired of always coming off second best?
Hey Dozey why don’t you open your eyes and read post #11 above and you’ll see my comment: “Nice clean simple stuff Tribe”
You obviously can’t read can you because you’re an art director who pretends to wiork in the UAE but can’t even tell us which agency you work for. Just for the record Amre is the CEO (can you actually believe that) of Publicis in Jordan and you know my title and where I work as it’s been stated many many times on this blog. (But then again you missed the quote above so you could easily miss this as well)
BTW Dozy just because other posters also call you Dozy maybe they think you really are (Dozy) and based on the blunder above the new nickname fits you aptly.
25. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 10:47 am
According to that “Creative Shits” that if i was amre or amre was me so i am an art director pretend to work in UAE and CEO in jordon at the same time..LOL
Actually, it is good to know that amre is the CEO of Publicis in Jordan, But what i am strongly sure about is that you are not more than a weak art director or a weak copywriter, but if you were a creative director Y&R must have there money back
Creative Fools, you has a mental hesitate.
26. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 10:52 am
BTW, Creative Fools or shakemo we all know who is the (Dozy) here
27. Creative rules | August 21st, 2008 at 11:32 am
28. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 11:56 am
LOL
29. Gibbo | August 21st, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Dozero you piece of shit,
you call me gay stupid Gibbo.
you’re the biggest fool in Middle Eastern advertising. come clean who you are.
i have stayed out of these slinging matches between everyone.
you brought me into this now. If i ever come across you someday, you’re gonna regret it.
30. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 2:38 pm
LOOOOOOOOOOL
31. Creative rules | August 21st, 2008 at 3:09 pm
You don’t have to go far Gibbo he’s just up the road. LOL
32. Gibbo | August 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
hey Creative Rules,
any idea what kind of car he drives?
33. amre husseini - AKA BITE ME | August 21st, 2008 at 6:14 pm
CREATIVE RULES you are truly an idiot you are changing the meaning of your old cozmo ad post where you were clearly explaining that you had sent the artworks to ZEID..now you are claiming that you sent them after the fact; it’s amazing how well you can change your words and your meanings?
SO YOUR WRONG BUT NOT “AGAIN”; RATHER WRONG AS USUAL
To move on after everything you are still being an idiot and accusing me of being dozero in your post #31, seriously why dont you get a life, but you are right in your statement that I am up the road from you and you will always have to come UP the road to be on my level.
..and for the record you got my title and the name of my company wrong, why dont you have one of your designers do some research since they already do all your work for you. (you posted at 3:09pm on a work day where earlier you claim to only post before and after work)
34. Gibbo | August 21st, 2008 at 6:34 pm
LOL amre,
if you hadnt already noticed, the times posted on this blog are an hour ahead of Jordan time.
Its 5.41 now and your comment is posted at 6.14, clearly impossible.
therefore if you take an hour off the 3.09 time, its 2.09 which is LUNCHTIME.
fool. Bet you wished you had a brain now!!!!
LOL
35. Creative rules | August 21st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Amre, thankyou for that polite post.
You obviously you find all this very difficult to understand so please do the following:
Step 1. Call Zeid or send him a private message and ask him if he put on the first three Cozmo ads on his blog. He will of course say yes.
Step 2. Ask him if he was sent the remaining two ads (from the agency) that were missing from the campaign? He will of course say yes.
It’s that simple.
Have a nice weekend.
36. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 21st, 2008 at 8:17 pm
LOL Gibbo:
If I recall you previously claimed that you were based in the GCC, so now you’re on Amman time and you and creative rules always seem to post within a short period of time…interesting…could you be fred, psutho, sutho too? oh and is 3:53 / 2:53 still lunch time 2:26pm etc etc…seems like you’ve got a really lunch break
GIBBO AKA Creative Rules:
Step One: Don’t try to “step back” so you can cover your tracks.
Step Two: Don’t try and be the civil one after all the accusations, insults and attacks you create.
Step Three: Get a life
37. Creative Rules | August 21st, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Ignore him and his personalities Gibbo, they all need alot of serious phsycological help.
38. restless | August 21st, 2008 at 10:21 pm
nice idea, but the visuals are kind dull..!! maybe the BG or the other elements
39. Creative Rules | August 21st, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Hey Amre, sorry to have started this whole war by constructively criticising your belovered Saraya commercial. Sorry.
40. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 12:45 am
If you read my response to your remarks on the Saraya TVC, you will note that I was actually very polite and took the criticism very well. Stop being a smart ass and read back to the first cozmo execution and realize who started this whole thing; in which you went into your retard conspiracy theory mood and illustrated very clearly your inability to handle criticism.
I too would like to apologize; apologize to myself for the fact that I’ve wasted so much time even reading responses from you. Team Y&R maybe the number one agency mate, but trust me and ask around the market, it has nothing to do with you, you guys always lose out creatively and compensate through solid strategies from Karim and good media rates, that agency’s success truly has nothing to do with you…so sorry to burst your bubble.
One last thing, why do you spend so much time looking over your shoulder at number two, what are you so scared of? Why is it you always need to protect yourself and pat yourself on the back as was clearly the example when you took on a false name on adsoftheworld and Jazarah and commended your own work, only to be caught on it by the owners of those blogs?
Wake up my friend, actually not my friend, but wake up anyway…
41. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 12:52 am
Oh and one last thing while you quickly scramble to wake up a copywriter to type in your response to my post #40…
YOU STRAIGHT OUT STOLE AN AWARD WINNING AD PRODUCED IN STOCKHOLM AND TOOK IT FOR COZMO. It was hilarious when I received that email that went around Jordan showing the original and then your copy of it. It was stolen out of the Archive magazine that you flip through on a daily basis mate and it was sent out by someone that…, well I wont say, but I will say that it was someone “close” to you.
Stop being defensive by being offensive. Stop making claims and creating theories. Stop worrying about others and truly once and for all concentrate on your own work.
This blog was doing fine till you woke up again a few weeks ago, if you have nothing to do we can send you some briefs mate…but seriously just stop…
oh and sorry:)
42. Creative Rules | August 22nd, 2008 at 6:34 am
I really didn’t bother reading your last two long winded rants mate. Far far too long and it’s too early in the morning (before I head off for a nice long bike ride in this beautiful country.)
Have a nice weekend Amre.:)
43. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
come on now, you know you read them, over and over again, and then you went on a lonely bike ride, with tears in your eyes, crying to yourself “where did I go wrong?” Isn’t it so typical of you to once again switch off the subject when you realize that someone has outted you enjoy your bike ride…don’t get too excited when you see a sheep though…
bye bye…
44. Creative Rules | August 22nd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I thought we agreed not to bring our families into this debate.
45. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I didnt get it…that post was either too smart for me, or you read something that wasn’t there…
46. Creative Rules | August 23rd, 2008 at 8:57 am
Okay…I’m from NZ…there are 64 million sheep and 4 million people…so NZers are always accused of taking a sheep as a wife and screwing them. I assume by your comment “don’t get too excited when you see a sheep” that you would’ve understood this. So…don’t bring my family into it. Get it? A joke. Ahh never mind probably far too subtle.
BTW I hate to dissapoint you but I didn’t read one word of your long winded rants #40 and #41. Just one glance and I can see it’s the same old bitter and twisted resentful stuff. Too long. Too boring and too many distorted lies.
I have some good news for you though. I did read every word of #43 at least it was polite and funny for a change. I particularly liked the sheep gag. Good touch.
And just so you know I won’t (like the Cozmo thread) be opening this thread again as I’m totally bored with all this bullshit so you can say your normal distorted stuff.
Revoir
47. Creative Rules | August 23rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
ps. Brace yourselves folks for a highly abusive, nasty and personal response full of false accusations that only exsist inside his head… but then again he’ll be the only one reading it. LOL
48. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 23rd, 2008 at 6:42 pm
There you go again switching subject. I’ve heard the thing about NZ before, but for some strange reason I thought you were an aussie so I didnt mean it like that…
Dude why do you put your foot in your mouth so often and I quote at 8:57am you state “And just so you know I wont be opening this thread again”, but at 3:23pm you post another comment so within 6 hours and 26 minutes u proved what a liar you are…listen this blog’s going to come off the home page with the next upload so catch me on another ad and let ur conspiracy theories fly…
49. Zeid Nasser (Admin) | August 23rd, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Well, I recall asking you gentlemen to take it easy……….
50. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 23rd, 2008 at 8:03 pm
