The Matchbox banner

Lately, a reader complained about the "Gandour Lucky Biscuit" banner on top of the blog calling it "ugly". So I decided to replace it by another (even uglier one) just to prove that I take my critics seriously. That person did post "anonymously" but frankly how many people can couple this much arrogance with this much ignorance and use a** as every third word in their speech? Only one that I know of....

you can make jokes all you want of the design am not a big fan of it myself... but how dare you question Tarek's copy-writing skills? NTSC (National Television System Committee / never twice same color) it's genius! don't be a hater just to be one, praise should be giving where it's deserved!!

Yves, would you be kind enough not to use profanity in your critique?... If I agree or disagree with you is a different matter altogether, but please - no swear words.

Yves, I wanted to keep your comment but these days I have a new strategy, which is to keep the blog clean of all swear words. So if you wish to send it again amended, and without any profanity, please be my guest.

@Anonymous#1:
Copywriting is an art & art is perceived differently. I am entitled to an opinion and in my humble opinion Beirut/NTSC (Never Twice Same City) is what I call "Forcé".

@Mr. Chemaly:
I'm sorry for the bad words.
I didn't say you are the worst copywriter in town. I'm sure you're better than most copywriters out there.. at least you're better than Clementine's.

Ask your mom? Sure.

i totally agree.. you are entitled to an opinion so am I...
and if pushing something a bit farther than the the obvious is considered "Forcé" then our jobs (am guessing your an advertiser or a graphic designer as well) is kinda meaningless... I stick to what i say... the name is genius and it's a pity you don't agree
but that's just my humble opinion

Yves, a committe has been formed to review your "A** kissing" suggestion, upon close inspection of the merchandise, it turned out it had a hole in it. Viewing its state, the offer has therefore been rejected. You may improve the condition of the merchandise and apply again.
