I just saw a new Zain ad on MBC4. It showed scenes of different people and places doing things and smiling and raising their hands.
One particular scene showed an elder man behind a counter with some scribbling on the wall with the words "GPS S 33 53 88" and I could not catch the rest.
I loaded my Google Maps and discovered that 33.5388 is the longitude of Beirut. The S was just put there to throw us off, it should have been an N.
Hidden messages in ads, I should pay more attention.
That's pretty cool! I through in some silly stuff in my code just to make it more fun, lol...
ReplyDeleteactually the gps coordinates point to the location of that place in capetown south africa. Its not a hidden message, the store that the commercial was shot at had it up on the wall.
ReplyDeleteits GPS: S33° 53 E18° btw, i can't read the last two digits after that.
ReplyDeleteshaymaa: I think it is neat also.
ReplyDeletemark: I don't know if it could be South Africa, Zain does not serve there, but they do in Lebanon. The middle digits Latititude was hidden by 2 bottles on the shelf.
Don Veto i am not guessing here i am actually stating a fact.
ReplyDeleteThat scene in the commercial was filmed in South Africa and those coordinates on the wall are the GPS coordinates to that shop.
If you take the coordinates and plug them in you will see they send you to capetown and not Beirut. No need for conspiracy theories, we shoot a lot of stuff in South Africa, its an advertising hot spot.
Mark: Sorry, I am not an insider, I just thought Beirut would be more logical. Do you have a link of that ad? I'd really love to get the longitude and zoom in on the place in google maps.
ReplyDeletei'll check youtube if i couldn't find the ad there will upload it.
ReplyDeletemajority of the ads are shot in Beirut but some were shot in south africa, and one was shot in the US.
you got to love youtube
