What a wonderful wonderful creation. A telling comment fantastically represented visually and copy that beautifully summarises it. Really touched me like all great ads must do.
Don't get to see such ads often. And so extendable. Looks like the Middle East has a strong contender for Gold at Cannes. Will eat my hat if this doesn't make the cut.
Congrats to the Team.

Wow! You are sooo gay for this ad! Truly gushing!
It is pretty good though.
We're going to need more lube.
"Don't get to see such ads often."
You don't?
I do...

hahaha... buuuuurn
ouch
don't forget the salt and pepper. this piece of bs isn't getting anywhere near cannes. be real. it's forced. the idea is nowhere near the quality of the ad it has copied. the idea for this ad is only marginally related to the product; alligator family tree to newspaper. (get it fast before it's gone!) get it, get it. come on. that's idiotic. at least the ads this one so blatantly ripped off are intrinsically linked to the product of message (family tree of elephants to disappearing herds. get it?). now go get your own ideas, jesus.

i second that. really nice piece of ad
Amazing!

Good, but, really, gold... my gut tells me otherwise. "Will eat my hat" if it makes it beyond the shortlist...
Add insult to injury then burn the candle at both ends.

personally prefer their art direction.
Meh, it's been done for years and years. I'm fairly sure I've seen a Lacoste ad that looks like this.
Whatevs, it's fucking beautiful :)

The same visual infact better than this(not stretched) and apt for an environmental protection ad, was done and released in the same KT newspaper last year end. Can prove with the jpeg if needed!
Of course it's been done.
It deserves a zero.
I can’t see a Colostomy bag anywhere. Now there‘s a thought, Crocodile skin versions, fantastic.

C'mon guys, Don't mistake the illustration technique for the message.
To me this ad is saying something new, really new, and spectacularly so. The art and the line, so fresh, are coming together as a potent force, sending out a strong message.
I believe this is a finalist at Cannes Lynx, and a favourite there (my friends had to jostle a crowd to get a better look at this ad, and even took pictures).
To me that says a lot, and points at things to come.
So let's scurry along now and shred the other ads that are posted fresh, leave this alone.

wow! this is really cool... and i started to believe that Khaleej Times ads are always of the good quality ones...
