From cinemas in the UAE, ads of bad habits disappeared due to criticism.
Dubai, UAE. Telecommunications operator Du was forced to remove the “Man sitting next to you” ad from the UAE cinemas after a wave of criticism. The advertising campaign was timed to coincide with the “second ticket is free” promotion and urged people not to go to the movies one at a time so that they would not have to sit next to a stranger.
As reported in the advertisement, a neighbor can be so rude that he will throw popcorn, crackle food, slurp, slurp and smell bad. Cinema viewers were offended by this advertisement, deciding that it spoils the reputation of the country and local residents. After harsh criticism on social networks, the ad was removed. In this way, Du showed respect for moviegoers.
