here's to KDTP:

For you to like this crappy ad doesn't make others dumb people, yeah? That only makes you dumber simply because you doesn't seem to open your freakin' eyes and look around in the world wide web for concepts like this one that has been made and been around for centuries, that's for your information, dumbo!

this ad will not make me stop smoking …so what's the use in making an ad if it doesn't sell?

This "ad" is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO interesting and VEEERY EFFFEEEEEEEEECTIVEEE … for the monkey's in the zoo … i even noticed they stopped smoking … oooo waaait … MONKEYS DON'T SMOKE …

————————————————

Conclusion 1. … This ad is BAD :P

Conclusion 2. … This ad is TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE (if i were a smoker i would probably laugh at it)

Conclusion 3. … YOU SHOULD GET A COPYWRITER THAT WRITES AND UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH or should i say "EN GHE LEESH"?

For more conclusions you should pay me a monthly salary ;)

————————————————

Recommendation 1. … Close the company (if this is too harsh skip)

Recommendation 2. … "may be" you should at least change the name of your agency … for FK's sake … talent?????? (so far i see you have a lot of talent … in making people laugh at you)

Recommendation 3. … quote Kre8tive "lmao" … to understand search for the definition of ABBREVIATION … hint (l@ughing my @$$ off) …

Recommendation 4. … use cold water for your morning shower (damn during summer cold water is not available in Kuwait) … OK ignore this point :P

at least in this ad smoking might be INTERESTING … but tALENT is just very disappointing.

Were you ppl on drugs or drunk when you made this ad … ???
