True. And such message will reek sincerity and fairness rather than hypocrisy.

Anyway, OTV and FPM have done just fine lately in bringing up these other "laymen" issues... sometimes a bit excessively... but still fine in my eyes :)

I agree with FBM that Samsung as a company is responsible of this ad. Advertising agencies always receive international copies and refuse to use them locally for different reasons, like indecent photos, highly sexual content.... We are living in Lebanon not in Austria.
So teh company should not have agreed to use these ads, and Moustkabal that should have some common sense, and be aware of the sensitivities in this country, should not have agreed to run it.

we need their expertise and guidance on that matter (walaw bada3o be 5feb )

I don't think it was their intent to humiliate or ridicule Jesus Christ.

And even if the intent of whoever made this ad was to "humiliate" Jesus Christ or Christians, all they did is humiliate themselves by showing their ignorance of true Christianity...

True Christianity is all about embracing and accepting all humans and about forgiveness. Jesus Christ himself didn't reject prostitutes and accepted them as human beings.

Whatever their political affiliation, it is TOTALLY irrelevant. They made a mistake of judgment, as well as their advertising agency and Moustakbal as a medium.
