And the award goes to..

Oman Mobile has finally kicked the bucket. Lost it. Gone off it's rocker. They truly deserve the award for the worst advertiser in the Sultanate of Oman.

I was out today (Wednesday) and I had decided already to go for the movie Wedding Crashers, which, was showing at Shatti Plaza. Anyhow. That's not the point here. The point behind this is that during the commercials before they view the feature movie, up came an advertisement for our beloved Oman Mobile. Now most of us in the cinema - and I am very sure of this including Muscati and OD who I happen to run into at the same movie - had no idea this advert was for the mobile company. And worse it really had nothing to do with a mobile company other than a butterfly. Yes, you read right. A butterfly.

A butterfly pitter pattering across deserts, cities, meadows and long fields of green to get to a girl who's only line is "Oman Mobile".

If that says anything about them, it says that they should fire the person behind the advert and their marketing advisor. Because it was truly and utterly crap.

Here's their link.

Congrats Oman Mobile. Another simple job gone down the drain.
