About exotica ad I'm afraid i will have to disagree with you: i find the ad smart, funny and creative; i know that our Lebanese society is a very fake society that cares a lot about the looks and the physical appearance but i don't think exotica ad is here to fix the flaws of our society. Everybody have trails from his parents and nobody should be ashamed of them; the mother with the big ears is extremely beautiful so is her daughter and the big ears are exaggerated in a very funny way that goes perfectly with the slogan: i thank you mom for the bad and the good. the people who hate their big nose or the big ears that they inherited from their mothers they are either now living with it normally and got over it or they all ready consulted a plastic surgeon and fixed their problem. I think we should give some credit for the few smart ads in our country that try to send their message gently without using vulgar or offensive context. (I think if we need to criticize some of the ads that we find on our streets there is a lot worse and ugly ads that makes u puke sometimes) The Moukarzel ad for the jewelry is by far a very stupid campaign that really shows how shallow is the creator of this ad! it seems he doesn't have any clue about the basic women rights violations in Lebanon. The C and F ad is not creative and not impressive: i mean it doesn't catch the eye at all but I think your analysis of the ad is a little bit exaggerated: we know that we can't pay back for our mothers anything for all the sacrifices they endured for us and all C and F products together can't be enough to reward our mothers but since its mother's day and we have to bring her sth why not bring her a gift from C and F (not necessarily a cheap lipstick :P) thank you :) Dear Maya:
