I really do not know where or how to begin. Every year the same sad story, a few classroom clowns think it is funny to ruin the only advertising festival of merit in the MENA region by entering copycat, spoof and cliché work in the hope that something slips by the judges and unfortunately it sometimes happens but when it does I take action with the aid of a network of passionate professionals. So let the games begin and let the truth shine.
Please look at the posting date of the clip ( zanzun 82 in ali ali’s youtube channel ) it was posted on the day of the Dubai Lynx shortlist, perhaps fearing that if posted erlier he might get some heat from his client 
who refused it 
or from the advertising scene in cairo who could have notified lynx before the show

TITLE: “Touch”
BRAND: Skittles
AGENCY: TBWA\Chiat\Day New York
The “BIG idea” behind the Grand Prix winning work for Kalbaz (at best) is “homage” with a twist to Skittles”everything i touch turns into” which at a core level is inspired by the “Midas touch”
The similarity is obvious.
Now look at the posting date (Feb 9, 2010) of the McDonalds TVC’s that won two bronze in the film category in 2012 !!!!!!!!!
