5. quick comment | August 19th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Hey where is creative rules?
He hasnt commented yet? oh my god, he must be actually working. Probabaly making tea for his boss, oh now sorry i forgot he has his maid to do that.
As Zeid said lets just talk about the ads now.
Hilal ads, YAWWWWNNNN.
6. quick comment | August 19th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
…besides it doesnt look like a hilal, they should have done a close up and just shown one headlight, not four

Quick comment, and this is a personal request and one based on feedback from several site regulars.
Lay off Creative Rules, and maybe it’s time we called a truce.
You and him are bothering site visitors with your endless jabs, some of which are way below the belt.
If Creative Rules is reading this, I suggest you ‘bury the hatchet’ now and move on. I’m sure Quick Comment will do the same.

Zeid…how nice of you to step up for creative rules…why dont you tell creative rules to stop making false accusations about concealed identities while you are at it my friend?
9. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 19th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
oh…and I hate these ads…
10. Gibbo | August 19th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
nothing wrong with these ads. the kind of brief that comes every year. fresh way of doing it yeah?
11. Zeid Nasser (Admin) | August 19th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
“Step Up” for creative rules ……. are you reading the same message I wrote?
Do you have a problem with Creative Rules too?
I see you and him fight and make-up all the time, for over a year now!
But, it’s without the kind of ‘intensity’ and ‘bad blood’ going on between him and Quick Comment.
12. quick comment | August 19th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Ok i need to step in myself here. Zeid you need to keep your friendship with creative rules on the side here and look at this in a fair way.
I was commenting on the ads when i first joined, nothing else. Purely critisizing the ads until creative rules first started attacking my comments. This triggered off me insulting him back, i have no idea who the other posters are, im not silly enough to go post under other names.
I went back and copy and pasted what he first wrote. So please read it and see who began attacking who.
Then when you finished reading it kindly tell him that me and the other guys he suspects are NOT the same people, surely you can tell using your high technology expertise.
Here was the first attack, have a read and for all the people complaining to Zeid please be fair too.
“5. Creative Rules | August 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
This is one of the worst ads you’ve seen recently?
Really Quick comment?
Hardly.
It’s easy to slam everything left right and center mate. Anyone can do that, But to stand up and praise an ad is much much harder. Because it shows you have conviction and taste. Something I don’t see you do. At all. In fact the more you do it the more credibility you lose.
This is actually not a bad ad and to make the comment about associating sickness etc with their products is something you wouldn’t even hear from a junior client.”
13. Gibbo | August 19th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
quick comment,
why dont you make a quick exit?
no slander here. nothing like you accusing someone of being gay or a hypocrite. right Zeid?
14. Creative rules | August 19th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I really don’t mind the VW ads above as there’s not many elements to work with while doing a Ramadan ad. Belive me I’ve done alot. A moon crest is the strongest symbol and at least DDB have found yet another way of doing it.
Well done Rishad and Guillherme Ramadan Kareem.
15. Dozero | August 19th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
This is really bad!! and wrong. art direction is bad and not to the level of VW ads.
The idea can be much better without four moon crests. what about a moon crest reflected on the car mirror or single light reflection on car alloy or even close-up of one car lamp instead of four!!!
16. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 19th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Zeid…creative rules and I dont make up; he just realizes he’s wrong all the time and losses interest. LOL….
You are right I misread your post and didnt see the part where you said THEY are both bothering site visitors…my bad…
But since you are here do us all a favor just confirm that I am not Dozero, quick comment, adrenaline, etc etc and lets end these creative rules and gibbo false accusations.
17. Quck comment | August 19th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Gibbo, whats wrong with being gay?
are you some type of homophobic?
I did accuse Zeid of being a hypocrite and i was right, he censored the word “philipino” on my post but not on creative rules post afterclaiming that this site was about the freedom of speech.
18. ziad hamdan | August 20th, 2008 at 12:36 am
stupid ads
19. Booyakkasha | August 20th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Guys/girls… get a room man, a new chat room that is. I feel like I’ve landed on the discussion board for Ricky Lake. (Fking drama desert queens or what)
20. JHN | August 20th, 2008 at 9:24 am
i like : )
21. shakemo | August 20th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Whats all this chat room rubbish. Just stick to commenting on these rubbish ads.
22. Gibbo | August 20th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Quick comment,
nothing wrong with being gay.
I’m not gay, but I’ve f*ck*d a bloke who is!
23. Creative rules | August 20th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Quick Comment or who ever you are today, you have the dubious honour of being the first and only poster that’s been censored on Adblogarabia (Lebanese salute tvc a few pages back) This happened long before I politely commented on your posts. So enough said on who is the most offensive eh?
BTW you still haven’t told us which Western country you live and work in.
24. Tricky | August 21st, 2008 at 12:56 am
TOYOTA ad Saudi arabia ramadan 2004 and why is it sooo foggy
25. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 5:53 am
Hey Gay-ibbo, “nothing wrong with being gay”!!!
26. Dozero | August 21st, 2008 at 5:55 am
No doubt you are and ummm… llet me think who is the other gay?!!:)
27. Creative Rules | August 21st, 2008 at 7:57 am
Shouldn’t you be working on lots of new business here in Jordan instead of wasting your time here talking about posters being gay?
Off you go mate back to work.
Your new total amount of posts is 439 and under your real name you’ve just overtaken Moey as the person with the most posts on this blog.
Seriously get a life mate. A working life
(At least, unlike you, the majority of my posts are outside work hours)
28. Creative Rules | August 21st, 2008 at 7:58 am
See 7:57 am at home before work.
29. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 12:59 am
Just trying to keep up with you on all these different ads is tough work. At 7:57am you asked me to go back to work, sorry mate too early for me.
See my posts can be during working hours or during my personal hours, but I dont compensate for the time I spend on this blog by copying work from ARCHIVE mate…
I wont sign off with get a life; I’ll sign off with “GET A CONCEPT” mate!
30. Creative Rules | August 22nd, 2008 at 6:42 am
Have a nice weekend amre
31. kre8tive | August 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 am
ADBLOGARABIA’s like a battle field now, oh boy!
32. amre husseini - AKA BITEME | August 22nd, 2008 at 4:43 pm
For a person who isnt bothered to read my posts creative rules you sure are taking the time to answer to each one at 6:42am or is it 5:42am on a Friday morning.
33. Moey | August 27th, 2008 at 11:02 am
I love its simplicity.
34. Louai Alasahani | September 5th, 2008 at 2:23 am
it seems that some agency in Kuwait loved these ads http://paragonanubis.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/blue-moon/
