I cant understand how the “creatives” in Kuwait think but I suspect that the above concepts are inspired by the headline “economic meltdown” so they are burning/melting the local currency!!!!

while the other is probably inspired by the agency cutting the designers salary in half

these are speculations only so I welcome feed back from the originators of these ads.

NB. wasn’t there a law sometime back prohibiting using the currency in ads without written permission?

A copycat is a person that mimics or repeats the behavior of another. The term is often derogatory, suggesting a lack of originality. The expression may derive from kittens that learned by imitating the behaviors of their mothers. – Wikipedia.
