Yet another annoying Arabic commercial

"A woman and her husband arguing about something. The man is yelling and saying: I won't say this twice, your parents can't live with us. The woman tries to calm him down to discuss it quietly and convince him of that.

 

Then, she brings him a dish of food prepared with none other than Craft cheese. And all of a sudden the man is enchanted, and he's okay with his in-laws coming to live with them."

 

Yes, Arab men are nothing but insatiable gluttons with no sensitivity whatsoever so if you want to persuade them of something all you have to do is bring them a dish of food, specifically Craft cheese and they will be hooked. Cram his face and he'll be your slave.

 

Moreover, I find it very humiliating to show a woman begging her husband to let her parents live with them. I think that this is a very sensitive subject in our society and it should not be displayed in this way. Whatever happened to the renowned Arab chivalry and strong family bonds and duty toward parents, not only biological ones, but also in-laws. Cress cross all that and bring him a dish of Craft cheese in one stupid commercial, Ugh!

 

You might think I'm exaggerating, but those commercials are getting more stupid each day, they are lucky nobody is suing them!

Hahahaha .... i haven't seen t hat commercial. Now i am wondering how good is that cheese ? It can end conflicts, make people happy, resolve issues, get people back to their traditions and values ?

It sure is some remarkable cheese.

Dana: exactly, perpetuating same old stereotypes just like this one

Za3tar: It's an enchanted cheese, the magic wound, it turns men into marionnettes...

You know hte funny thing is that it's no big deal, anyone can get it from the supermarket, why wait till your wife serve it to you and you fall under the spell? :D

ugh! fair and zeft! The funny thing is that at the beginning of the commercial the girl looks hesitant, dresses like crap, and at the end when she dresses fabulous they attribute her success to the whiteness of her complexion!
