Ad For Egyptian Energy Bars: Awful or Awesome?
Well, Thanksgiving is over. How was yours? Did you put back on the 10 pounds you’ve been working so hard to keep off for the past 5 months? In the span of like, 4 days? And now the holiday is over but thinking about working out and eating healthy again sounds like a miserable hellscape the likes of which you have never suffered before? That sucks. Not me. I hit the gym every day this weekend and only ate small, moderately portioned meals, obviously.
ANYWAY, we’re back this Cyber Monday with a heaping dose of “YIIIIIKES” from an ad agency in Egypt, whose new commercial for Tonger energy bars is stirring up some interesting reactions from around the interwebz. Some say it’s genius, and yeah – I will be talking about this ad for quite some time, but others (most) are saying it is tasteless, offensive, and promotes racial stereotypes, and yeah – they’re probably right.
What do you think about this ad from Thinkk Egypt? Awful or awesome?
