   Are you serious? The artwork is messy, cluttered and badly photoshopped (Bart's head, anyone?). I hope you do get sued for the use of unauthorized images. And what's with all the movie references in the ad? Are you promoting illegal downloads or internet gaming?

   Oh and this made me laugh…

   "ads2blog.com welcomes debate and does not censor. It does; however, remove or modify comments that are ill-tempered or contain materials deemed inappropriate"

   Removal and modification of comments is censorship.

    The main flaw of this ad besides the clutter and bad art, is that it does NOT speak to gamers at all. It tries to, but fails miserably. Mortal Kombat??? I played this 10 years ago. Vader? Bart? Yoda? Spiderman? Are we talking movies or games?

    Lets take this from a logical stand point. I have been playing video games for over 15 years, and I still do play video games.

    The image looks like a failed photoshop attempt at being something modern and creative. The colors don't look good together and this doesn't include how bad the characters look.

    Bart simpson and Homer simpson never had normal an online game, the best they had was on Sega Mega CD back in the 90s and you get to go through the house and beat homer.

    The shoe throwing incident was to do with Goerge Bush and was a fun flash game for about 5 minutes! Not online gaming again..

    Mortal Kombat, Spiderman, and Star Wars are not online games. These are fighting games, and nothing to do with online.

    If you want online games then you would go for Halo (Which you used the helmets only in a very ugly manner), Gears of War, Call of Duty(Any of Them), World of War Craft, Command and Conquer, Star Craft, and even if your going for a classic online game there is Diablo.

    Seriously, did people sit around a table and think that this is an amazing idea. No one spoke up and said it was ugly? really.. nobody?

    Dodgy

    Distasteful

    Immature

    Repugnant

    Tacky

    Vulgar

    The art work and art direction would’ve been cute if it were composed by a twelve year old designer.

    That being said, it is shocking to know that it was a creation of an agency being paid an excess of 17 K a month by Wataniya !! “ hathee el q8 9al 3ala el nibee ”

    In that note, I just want to applause Wataniya Telecom’s marketing dept. for the excellent selection that they’ve made when they decided to adhere to the agency in question!

    you must be a republican :) great ad

    Jan 28th, 2009

    Omar your comment is full of hatred toward wataniya and the adv agency and not as a professional observer to the ad itself.

    Maybe u are not to the level of working in nor of these two companies.

    Its too crowded. But it will hold the viewer little longer to find out what are the things are ther inside the visual.

    Guys please judge the ad itself, leave the agency and the client alone!!!

    Apparently a huge efforts were put on this campaign, but unfortunately it didn't communicate what it should have.

    I'm not going to waste more time on this layout but a small comment for the people who worked on it: "you can't show the whole internet experience in one layout, that's just impossible! And some of the used visuals, back in the audience head signify TV or MOVIES.. so be aware for next time."

    I personally think it is bellow average. Well, waaaaay bellow.

    WE CAN'T BLAME THE CLIENT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's your job to change his way of thinking, you are the image consultant, right?

    Good luck for next time!

    of course you can blame the client! they are the ones that approve and disapprove the design!

    art direction for this campaign is TERRIBLE.. trying to throw everything on one ad is tasteless.. leave something for other ads to follow..

    there is no direction.. no focus.. and the execution is just sloppy..

    i hope both IMPACT and WATANIYA take this criticism in a positive way and find more creative ways to illustrate their services!
