    Restless, I disagree with you on one point only: Horses are never “ugly”! come on man!

    Animal cruelty….racial slurs against egyptians. This thread is really getting ugly

  • 9. hussein  |  December 2nd, 2007 at 7:09 pm

    the thread will be more ugly if we continue to hide from our mistakes .. I’ve nothing against Egyptians or anyone since they’re doing things in the right way..

    and watch the language people.. it’s reflecting your culture..

    ;)

    To be honest with all of you… I am not a huge fan of this campaign. You are all right, it could have been executed better and the copy definitely needs improving. However one thing remains true. That is the amount of direct bullshit that emanates from Hussein’s ass. it’s blinding and it stinks.

    By the way. This is one in a series. There was a rose that symbolized beauty and a shell that symbolized protection.

  • 11. hussein  |  December 3rd, 2007 at 6:49 pm

    so pathetic Kaz.. I understand your reasons to use such language (…) but if you feel it stinks so do not put your nose next to it ;) or leave it to another one.. However, i agree with you that it could be executed in a better way.

    could you show us the rest of the series..?

    did the horse headbutt a mercedes?
    no more horses and cars, BMW did it and they did it well so stop trying to imitate

    Actually, everyone has used horses in cars…. not just BMW and Merc….
