something i found on the web and it was funny

Translation standards

So while cruising around Kuwait I saw this

image

And noticed its written ST short for street , while in Arabic it says ”  طريق ” which should have been translated to Road

For example this

image

It says Road and in Arabic  ” طريق  ”

And just for comparison

image

It says ST as in short for Street and in Arabic ” شارع ”

Why can’t they have translation standards?!

Analyzing Ramadan 2011 TV ad : Qualitynet

I think a lot have seen the New Qualitynet Ad for Ramadan

( if embed didn’t work , try this link QualityNet Ramadan Ad )

What it seem is that Qualitynet have no idea what they paid for , first its not an ad for their service , the director was going for a comedy sketch , not to mention it show Qualitynet service as bad

lets dissect this ad

First guy ask his maid to Make an Egg-omelette for him and what does she says ( while clicking on the laptop )
“We don’t have ” ” ماكو ”

What is she is “We don’t have ” , not i don’t want to , but we don’t have
So they are missing something to make Egg-omelette
and since the maid is internet Savvy , she can use Laptop , she was going to order egg
but since the man seem to be in the mood of Youtube he blow all his bandwith cap and she couldn’t reach taw9eel Page

This guy is working in a company ( clear from the setting ) , and he says the project is finished and he keep on asking for more time to send it to the other guy
Well
Qualitynet introduced Smart connection for businesses [AlQabas][Arabic]
So this guy is suffering

Now this is a student , who is trying to access his e-mail but can’t , and keep asking his private tutor for a bit more time
So its slow for him also , AKa he has slow Service

And before you say maybe that is them suffering before , no at the end of the AD , they all appear and say
“Our Speed is Qualitynet , nothing is like it ”

So to recap
The Director made a Couple short comedy sketch’s
The Ad tell us Qualitynet services are bad
The Ad tell us people in Kuwait don’t care about bad service they are still happy

Mofa Blunder or is it ?

What a Shame

A positive in a sea of Negative

With all the negative news here and there , Sometimes you see a positive thing

From Alanba [Link][Arabic]

برفض اتحاد الكرة توفير حكام لهذه المباراة بسبب اعتداء لاعب النصر احمد عباس على الحكم وليد الشطي في المباراة الودية السابقة للنصر مع العربي، وطالب اتحاد الكرة باستبعاد عباس من المباراة حتى يتم توفير حكام لهذه المواجهة إلا ان النصر رفض الطلب بحجة أن ادارة الـــنادي هي المســــؤولة عن إيقاف اللاعب مــــن عدمه وبناء عليه رفضت لجنة الحكام في اتحاد الكرة توفير الحكام.

The Football Federation refused to provide referees for the friendly game because Al-Naser ( Saudi Arabia ) player Ahmad Abbas attacked The Referee Waleed AlShati in the Past game between Al-Naser ( Saudi Arabia ) And Al-Arabi ( Kuwait ) , The Federation asked that the Player not play the game , and When Al-Naser refused The Federation Refused to provide Referees
