  that’s fishy…
  can anybody explain to me this?
  the same ad was released by Saatchi Melbourne, Australia. Now promoseven are posting it with some “bestadsontv.com web address?

  hey people,,,, been a while—
  Again…a comment that will probably make some waves over here, & Arabia blog on fire…with a bloody heated traffic hit….
  ZED Hell;0)
  -THIS ISN’T an AD by FP7!!
  It’s David Anderton— FP7’s executive creative director —best ads, one he chose to mention in a special KSA report in ArabAd…
  and one indeed for Australia’s post—hey ppl NO AUSTRALIA POST In KSA!!!!!!!
  So would be just perfect for everyone to double check the info relayed on various blogs, not to get overly excited each time an ad is loaded…& Remember…
  CECI N’EST PAS UN CHAPEAU!!!
  but Life could be a Beach sometime…

  This isn’t a fish, it’s Zone’s delayed April’s fool –as Grey isn’t the new black either, but trustworthy Contents IS and will remain key, whether the old way or PR 2.0 mode…
  So yes Ansihi, it is fishy and your d one sharp observer over her…

  Salamat men el Zone

  This ad was NOT UPLOADED by Promoseven.

  This ad was NOT PRODUCED by Promoseven.

  This ad was NEVER CLAIMED by Promoseven.

  See comment 10 (The Zone) this is the correct story.

  People should not upload material without knowing or checking the source.

• 14. David Anderton  |  June 25th, 2008 at 6:05 pm

  Someone at ArabAd made a mistake in their Creative archive. they credited the ad to us. We NEVER CLAIMED IT.

• 15. Zeid Nasser (Admin)  |  June 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm

  Well, so it’s a mistake by ArabAd Zone … an intentional April Fool by them …. whatever it is, we’ll take off the Promoseven credits….
