Melody TV humorous and cultrually daring station commercials

March 3rd, 2007 Zeid Nasser (Admin)

The people behind Melody TV Network, based in Egypt, are quite daring. The content of some of their station promotion commercials include Arab ladies in revealing wear, which promote concepts of sexual infatuation or comedy in the story line.

Although suitable for most of Melody’s liberal, western-minded viewers across the region; it cannot be considered ‘mainstream family viewing’ in an Arab country. Especially with the tweens and early teens usually watching Melody channels.

The first commercial features the Melody Man, an over-weight, uncool looking coach potato who is empowered by Melody to save the day. The second one is an ad for Melody Movies (aflam) showing a husband spurn his attractive wife’s advances.

Let me say that I am impressed by the production quality levels, and I’ll bring you more of the Melody commercials, although less controversial, but equally funny and entertaining in coming days. There are so many of them, I’ll call each Melody Commercial of the Day!

For now, take a look at these two ’sexually charged’ ones.
