Although we focus on advertising related topics here on AdBlogArabia, these caricatures by Imad Hajjaj have grabbed my attention, and it seems he is focusing on a message of the total instability in this part of the Arab World, with Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon all in turmoil.
It is worth taking a look at these creative caricatures which have been published over the course of the past two months at Mahjoob.com and Al Ghad newspaper.

Shame is the name of the game here and this strategy worked like a charm in early 90s with a similar campaign targeting thugs that harassed women in streets and malls.”
Interesting! Can anyone out there tell us who’s the advertising agency, and some other credits for this idea?

Yes, this is indeed an image meant to be George Bush as a child. Disturbing, isn’t it? There are also other images of world leaders, as children.
It’s an advertising campaign for German newspaper Welt Kompakt, by an agency called Jung Von Matt.
The idea seems to be announcing that the size of the newspaper has changed, but the news is still big.
Also, that this is a newspaper that future decision makers will read (new size, new generation).
But, I’m not so sure this message is considered positive in Germany, seeing as George Bush is not popular there and the idea that the “George Bush’s of the future” are reading this newspaper could put off the public.
