Play RISK and occupy the White House!
August 4th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
I admit that the only reason this campaign for the board game RISK caught my attention was the inclusion of this image of Arabs in the Oval Office of the White House.
Apparantly the idea of the game is to occupy the world and, in an imaginary game, anything is posible. Right?
This campaign is by Saatchi & Saatchi, Singapore, and there are several other images- without Arabs in them- at Ads Of The World.
I wonder if, in this digital age, anyone still plays old-fashioned board games.

Well I had the same idea when I saw a story about a Credit Card-based versoin of Monopoly and what I thought of then is what technology will bring to games like Cluedo and Risk.
The idea behind the Ads are indeed amazing, it is interesting that the decoration used for the White House’s Oval Office reflect indeed ones you would find in a Dewan.. for some reason I don’t find it offensive at all, althought some might disagree.

I liked it too. And wasn’t offended much, except for the fact that the Arab Shiekh seemed more interested in the belly dancer than he was at ruling the world.
