Half a million Dinars
Spotted the billboard above on the Sheraton round-about which cracked me up since “Sweet!” wouldn’t be the normal reaction to winning half a million Dinars… not unless you already had a few million to begin with. So I took the liberty of suggesting some better alternatives. The one above is the current ad that’s plastered on the billboard while the ones below are the ones I am recommending. If anyone has other alternatives post them below!

” Where is Kuwait”
—-
” Now how can I get a loan……..”
I love the 1st one :) I’ll be leaving Kuwait in mid July and already in this phase I would like to inform you Mark, that I will use “Goodbye Kuwait” in my FB profile on a day I fly out :D That sign will make my friends more than jealous… LOL
“What account?”

Half a million dinars in my account:

3) Heart Attack! Going to heaven (probably Hell)
4) Do I Know You????

Ms Neutral check here> http://www.koenigsegg.com/
St.Tropez for the weekend….!
LOL, the Koenigsegg CCX one cracked me up. At first I actually thought they were real. Then I saw the one about Kuwait and I realized that Gulf Bank (of Kuwait) wouldn’t want to advertise that sort of rep to their home country. Regardless how many lebanese (sorry if that sounded racist but isn’t it better than Goodbye Kuwait?) are on there marketing team.
Come on guys, Kuwait isn’t THAT bad. I mean the weather might suck but would you prefer hurricanes and earthquakes!? The people (some) are rude and snobby but can you name a safer place to raise your kids? (OK, name 10!) A lot of things needs to be fixed around here but I wouldn’t choose anywhere else to live in.
(Am I using a lot of brackets?)
(yes you are)
chaching
Aston Martin, here I come!!!
Oops, they did the mistake again !!!
MYK… Man we have nothing against Kuwait…
Its Just once we have a 1/2 mil dinar, I’d rather spend it in my own country with my family…
After all I know that many of us come to Kuwait to make 1/32 mil dinar and leave :)
Cheers mate!
I could buy my abs!

“Half a million dinars in my account….
Damn! I knew I shoulda signed that prenup!”

Judging from the target audience of the original add saying “sweet”
I would say a good follow up add would be:
Half a million dinars in my account… one more drop in the well!
woops, misspelled “ad”!
Can we buy the Playboy Mansion for that much money?
HAHA! Loved the “twisted” yet funny alternatives.
