the Heineken story

This country will never seize to amaze me. Every now and then i get this very rude awakening about how backward this country really is.

I was working on this job for a new client. They supply all the booze in this country. And since there was this new promotion for heineken comming up they gave me some artwork to produce. very simple and straight forward stuff. but heres where the qatar factor comes in...

Every printing press i went to, refused to print any artwork that had anything to do with beer or alchoholic beverages. This is Hipocracy at work here. FucK! i was just asking to print the dam posters i wasnt asking to drink the dam thing. Its really really sad... ive realised to really not bother with explaining anything to qatari's anymore.

the whole country will take 10 steps forward and then 20 steps backwards and then wonder how they got there.

heres a comic to illustrate how i feel...
