5. JENNY | March 7th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
I don’t undersatnd anything!!what is this supposed to mean??Are these chairs??What do chairs have to do with speed??What is the link?? I’m sorry to say this, however, this looks like an ad executed by an Egyptian for an Egyptian!!!
Thank you

HAHAHAHAHA!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!Is this a joke!!! was this released in the press or something???Or was it part of ad jokes??
It cant be for real!!! NO WAY!!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!! WHAT A DISASTER!!!!

haha that’s really nice Jenny and Freddy, thank you for your constructive comments. I’ll probably have to explain this to both of you as it’s obvious that both your mental capabilities are lacking.
Firstly this is poster version, there’s another version with body text explaining the product more, and that version is tailored for people like yourselves.
This is Business ADSL. The chairs in a row are found in a lot of waiting areas in offices, while the track is a symbol of speed. Hence, “Work in the Fast Lane”. What i like about the ad is the angle of the chairs which if you have eyes, look like a tunnel. It would be appreciated if you think a little before making yourselves look stupid by posting idiotic comments.

I think I made this comment already but it doesn’t appear so I try again… what makes 2Mbps “super fast”?
9. Kaz | March 8th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
You’re right… It’s terribly slow compared to the rest of the world. However for Qatar it’s all they have. They are now only starting to have faster Internet speeds.

Very cliche!!!! yes u were trying to give a sense of speed but chairs have nothing to do with speed….lanes yes i agree but why the chairs….is it because it was the only picture u found on getty images and it worked easily with some retouching???
No idea behind it sorry, i must agree with one of the comments posted earlier…
tnx

Dear Ahmed and all friends and colleagues who have commentd on this ad.
First of all ….. THANKS …. for visiting and commenting!
Second of all … AdBlogArabia aims to display ads that create a debate. Some people will like them, some people won’t.
Not all the ads can be great, but all of them are ‘commentable’.
Anyway, Kaz, keep your ads coming! And understand that criticism is part of the business….
16. SE | April 20th, 2007 at 11:25 am
The ad doesnot make any sense to westerns at all.
It can work in places like the arab countries because there are heaps of ads and architecture that doesnot make sense and people are used to it.
As you are making it to Qatar it is not so bad but for a western country it is awful
17. Ansaihi | June 27th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
SE is right about one point: what could be great for one community could suck in others point of view. that summarizes it all.
(I’m not defending or attacking this ad).
Never the less, guys, keep the positive spirit up,
