As always, Melody music channel has its own style to advertise for its products, whether it’s new songs or new shows. The music channel has no boundaries and it has no respect to how things are done. The latest advertisement was through its game show “Wahmeh” (Not Real), where the winner was awarded Lebanese singer Dana.
This type of advertisement takes us back to when slavery was going on. A caller on the game show had to state his name, age, and answer a ridiculously tough question, which was “what has four wheels and drives on the road?”, and since the instantly answered the question the station granted the grand prize “Dana.”
He was then shown with Dana on his right with a big smile on his face, and the music channel concluded the advertisement by saying “if your life is empty and boring fill it with cash” they have forgotten to add “you can by Dana and her sisters”.
According to the London daily Elaph, the Lebanese singer agreed to be treated as a product bought and sold on a game show. This shows that money has the last word in everything and is the only thing that matters, because the caller chose to buy “Dana” for his pleasure. What else will Melody think of next and what is more important is how Dana will shock us next? |
