The setting lends this ad much of its power. Way to take logitech out of the context of desktop speakers and give it emotional weight. But the way the product was introduced, literally on a pedestal, was the visual equivalent of a needle off the record, and risked making light of the situation.

Advertising from Lebanon (and Egypt) are consistently more interesting than others in the region. Why? We suspect it's because of the two countries' role as a melting pot of cultures. Lebanon with its mix of European and Middle Eastern influences, Egypt with its Middle Eastern and African influences, not to mention millennia of Egyptian history. Take those cultural deposits and refine them with a developed sense of humor and a healthy dose of "fuck it" attitude and you've got a recipe for interesting commercial art. Thumbs Up
