Israeli supermarket spoof of Dubai liquidation
The day got off to a late start - the power went off during the night and without the alarm clock, I did not wake up for my normal sunrise service. Now, I have to drive the boys to school or they will be late. And many of the roads here are closing from 9:00 - 11:00 for Biden to go to Tel Aviv.I will be liveblogging Biden's speech at 11:00 am Israel time. If I get back by then....
In the meantime, here's a good story (Hat Tip: Will).
In the advert for Mahsanei Kimat Hinam shops, disguised customers prowl the supermarket's aisles and an actress wearing a wide-brimmed hat says she: "cannot admit to anything". The final line is: "We offer killer prices".I'll try to find the video later.
Advertising executive Sefi Shaked said the campaign was inspired by the original footage.
"We were fascinated by the technique of using surveillance cameras instead of high-production cameras, and the latest events in Dubai have us a great opportunity," he said.
"It's a parody, a take-off of what happened in Dubai. All the Israeli television comedy shows have done it, so why shouldn't we?" he added.
UPDATE 3:55 PM
I didn't find the whole commercial, but I did find a report about it from British TV, so let's go to the videotape.
