See through ads!

If you have passed by Dora in the last few days then you must have noticed the new Marie France ads displayed all over the highway, there are tens of them on the road!

On my way back from work yesterday I was surprised to see each and every one of these ads ripped in the middle (right on the chest area)!

Apparently someone felt irritated of this campaign and decided to take matters into his own hands! We’re actually used to these acts from time to time in other areas where provocative ads get covered with black spray, but not in Dora.

So who could be the one this time? I doubt it’s a religious extremist group, I say it might be some feminist movement…

    I actually thought it looked like a “passion crime”, but I doubt it since I don’t think these pictures are taken here 🙂 But it sure does look like something a jealous bf would do!!

    I think we should limit Dora to 5 Billboards… and set Very Strict limits on Banner Ads… We hardly see the trees, the background scenery, the non-sell it in your face poses!!

    Enough with all these Ads! Hariri Sr. banned it in Centre-Ville… and not little by little, they’re shoving them in our faces again!

    It’s becoming less effective to have so much ads, we become insensitive, and nobody enjoys going out anymore.

    I hate these big ass ads as Jester points out. But it’s beside the point.

    I think it’s feminists lol They’re more extreme than any extreme religionist!

    I wonder who has to pay for these ads? Will Marie France have to reprint them? I have to say, I’m still shocked at the sheer amount of lingerie ads in Lebanon..I know I’ve said it before, but even an extremely liberal place like Miami doesn’t have naked women an billboards with taglines reading “keep your eyes on the road.” What bs is that? I think legislation should be passed limiting lingerie ads to magazines only, or to other advertising mediums that aren’t so IN YOUR FACE.

    Maybe it’s the brother of the model… or her dad 😉

    Don’t get in the face an angry female 😛 This ad is purely demeaning to women I’m suprised I have’nt torn them down myself
    Marie binto la France should be an ashamed brand now. What image of women are they portraying?! It’s lingerie & their ads will def. show skin but not this way – all over the road like La Piara meat or Hawa Chicken!!

    These ads are also plastered on the way from Casino du Liban to Jbeil – hope no car accidents will occur there specially that the ad has forgotten the tag line (used by a sister lingerie company) “keep your eyes on the road”!!!! If SNL’s Amy & Seth were here they’d say REALLY now REALLY?!?!
