Folks this is what the US law says about the currency:

Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Or the round-a-bout in Salmiya next to AUK that has the pictures of past rulers. That symbolizes the entire history of Kuwait and yet it is in bad shape.

I think it is a very creative ad and not offense at all. A picture does send a thousands words, however, KEMS did not mean harm in showing up a teared up 1kd note… They were trying to sell their services by telling people, that money spent on the net is going to be cut in half if you subscribe for a year..

Kudos to the guy who made the ad ,because in my own personal opinion, it is very creative. It might be insulting to others, but again, KEMS just wanted to use the ad to send a message.

I think instead of bitching about an ad with no harm intended.. Q8life should post about the torn,weathered and dirty Kuwaiti flags around buildings and schools. After all, a flag in my own opinion symbolizes the culture, not their money.

If they used 1/2 KD …. it wouldnt make sense i guess.

The add is tryin to show and stress more on “paying half the price from what you normally pay”

Thats what i understand from the 1KD note being torn in half.

You’re still where you are due to choices by the government, not the people.

It is just amazing how we (in the arab world) can take a simple issues and beat itto death with arguments !!!

Mark started the whole thing by just asking if people find it offensive or not !! thats it…. Q8life has the right to state his/her opinion without being attacked for it. Q8life is free to state whatever he/she wants regardless of what me or other think.

The interesting thing in all the counter arguements is that no one tried to respond to the issues raised by Q8life in his/her view on this.

Also it is so typical from some to divert from the original topic and start this Kuwait (kuwaiti) bashing regarding domestic workers, rapes,.. ..etc of all the generlization against every Kuwaiti!!!

No wonder the world is moving forward and we are still where we are.
