Brief Explanation

CULTURAL NOTE: The Egyptian 'infomercial' is possibly the most delectable 'guilty pleasure' we consume. A kitsch world where ads are shot on the cheapest budget, using extras as 'actors', horrible lighting, appalling music, and a Betacam camera tracking in and out endlessly to sell the tackiest and most useless products. ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN : This Promo for Dolceeca Ice Cream gave away a motorcycle; a prize that some may not desire. So we offered winners other 'interesting' products available at the same price - if they choose to sell the motorcycle. If you these spots make your eyes sore, then we have succeeded admirably.
