Above is my graphic adapted from Breitbart.
Some of this criticism emanated from Pakistanis, who could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw the hideously misjudged ad for their state carrier.
“Did the idiot who designed this graphic not see a PIA plane heading for the Eiffel Tower? One of Europe’s iconic landmarks?” gasped Omar Quraishi, a newspaper columnist and former media adviser to politician Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
This is the actual ad:
Ok, as I scrolled on this article, the first picture was on my monitor. I thought, " Well, yeah, a bit odd, but..." Then I scrolled to the second pic and holy shit! As a photo/video/training guy I know the power of imagery, and whoever did this should be at least canned, maybe caned! (See what I did there. I am a writer, too. Don't try this at home, kids.)
ReplyDeleteThey should have used your graphic. I saw the graphic, read the article and thought bug deal. Then I saw their graphic, and yup. They screwed up.
ReplyDeleteIf islam attacked the tower or the Luve I wonder how france would take that? Would that finely get rid of islam forever?
