<p>And if I might ad, the execution of the C&amp;F ad is terrible, as it is clearly a cushion inserted into the woman&#8217;s clothes, and not a baby.</p>
<p>Again, I&#8217;d like to thank Exotica and their creative team for responding positively to the criticism of their campaign [I knew from trusted sources that the reason they updated the campaign is because of the reaction they saw through social media]. If that&#8217;s the case, then they are pioneers <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Exotica... The Comeback! Moukarzel... The Fall Down!" class='wp-smiley' title="Exotica... The Comeback! Moukarzel... The Fall Down!" />  What do you guys think about the other campaigns I just shared?</p>
<p>Exotica is now all over the Lebanese blogosphere: <a href="http://raafathamze.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/exotica-and-the-new-paradigm/" target="_blank">Raafat Hamze</a> analyzes the campaign change here, and there is <a href="http://www.plus961.com/2010/03/10/exotica-is-listening/" target="_blank">Plus961</a>&#8216;s, <a href="http://www.plus961.com/2010/03/10/exotica-is-listening/" target="_blank">Liliane</a>&#8216;s &amp; <a href="http://jobox.blogspot.com/2010/03/leo-burnett-exotica-are-missing-chances.html" target="_blank">Joe</a>&#8216;s take on this.</p>
<p>On another note, I got back from Zahleh [as you might have noticed <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt="icon razz Exotica... The Comeback! Moukarzel... The Fall Down!" class='wp-smiley' title="Exotica... The Comeback! Moukarzel... The Fall Down!" /> ] and will update you tomorrow! Have a beautiful day with this smooth song from Spirited Away soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi!</p>

<p>You might say I am overreacting. However, the reason I am, is because I believe huge billboards have great influence on the large amount of people who cross them daily. Big corporations should thus think twice before shouting such messages at us. And I do know that &#8220;it got people talking about it&#8221;, but wouldn&#8217;t it be better if it also, on the way, got through a more responsible message?</p>
<p>Anyway, I just had to say what I think about this campaign, it&#8217;s been bothering me everyday when I pass by it. Now, back to music, here&#8217;s Sarah Vaughn&#8217;s Broken Hearted Melody. Have a wonderful day <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile For better & for worse" class='wp-smiley' title="For better & for worse" /> </p>
