    this ad doesn’t work. it makes men want to become ticks n fleas.. n makes women wish they were *****.. look how gorgeousss this *******************!!

    now snappin back to reality… this ad sux.. it doesnt show pets.. and it presumes that people got ticks n fleas in their places.. and this is very offensive, dangerous and counterproductive..

    now whats really funny is how these ads forgot the old link between ticks, fleas n pets.. as pets has always been considered number one transporter of ticks n fleas…. so i wonder how cud they show ticks n fleas while tryin to sell pets!!

    ikhs 3alaikun tonic… u have some weird mentalities ova there!!

  • What’s wrong with Tonic?

    Yeah, I was sure I saw this one one before. Damn, what’s happened to Tonic? It used to be a good agency.
    How did they reproduce the same visual? I would love to hear their response to this.

  • What’s wrong with Tonic?

    Ok mystery solved. It’s not a copycat. It’s just what happens when two agencies purchase the same image from Corbis.

    Yes, after a quick research, it looks like the pictures have been taken straight from Corbis, which led to the similarity.
    Search for “woman feeding pet” and “woman cutting mite hair” on Corbis.
    By why does the art director and copywriter credit themselves, when they have only slapped a logo on a preconceived idea?

    Two lessons here:
    1- Never use unlicensed pics if you care about your agency’s reputation.
    2-Buy images, not concepts.

    hey “What’s wrong with Tonic?” if what u said is true, I hope tonic accepts our apologies, me and starsky.. see we dun tolerate copycat works.. and just to add to the lessons to be learnt,,
    3- Agencies should do little research before they adapt a concept.. maybe it’s already done already there..

    Anyways, i hope the guys in tonic do not understand this apology as some sort of justification to the horrifying nightmares they’ve done after all.
    I still hold to my points raised in the first comment.

    Have a nice day “What’s wrong with Tonic?”

    starsky lets go for some beers… haha

  • restless

    Moe, please don’t apologize or speak on my behalf!!!

    second,, i still believe that the above mistake is unforgivable especially when it comes from a big name like Tonic Dubai,

    com on !!! there is something called “research” ,, how come a team of three creative minds didn’t search this for about 5 minutes !!!,,,
    i believe that they are experienced enough to do that !!

    anyway good luck next time ( hopefully i wont see this in the coming Lynx awards)

    hey resres, i thought we were friends.. but anyways, u got it dude.. never speak on ur behalf even if theres nothin wrong with what i say..
    n e ways, i think it wud be fun to see this in lynx awards specially if it wins something… cuz then there’ll be something to talk about.. imagine this headline poppin on ur screen : “tonic’s awards withdrawn”… LOL

    back to business, me n you are right… how cud a big agency located in du-mother*******-bai dun do research..
    resres, i say we crucify them or u noe what, lets bring gillotine to work again…

    vince, peter and the photographer i doubt he exists.. watch out we’re comin’.. i mean im comin’.. hey resres, can i say we comin’.. it wud sound better..

    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. u know the rest… now get in the vehicle…
