Déjà Vu

yay first to comment :P

Anyway .. exact copy.. It’s so sad, when a whole staff work that hard on a stolen or copied idea. Where is the creativity? Just sad!
Even though it’s copied, I like it.

American Bastards. Not only did they copy Kuwait Oqsim video, but they reversed time to make it look like Kuwait stole theirs!

Kuwait should sue America, America should TOQSIM not to violate and steal Kuwait ideas ever again!

PS: I recall now Manar swearing in the video to respect intellectual property.

They In their site they say that the idea behind the campaign was inspired by the "I pledge" campaign..

They're not denying it which I see as very admirable :)

As much as I wished it was an original idea I still like it and like what it stands for in both videos.

Ali-
I cant agree more :-)

This is not copying. This is called carrying forward someones good idea. Well done.
I prefer copying a good idea to not doing anything at all.
I prefer to doing nothing at all to copying a bad idea.
