It was called Block13, its was a show that made fun of various social issues in the Kuwaiti community. <BR/><BR/>It broke taboos and talked about corruption, lack of proper schooling, income gaps, politics, discrimantion... all sort of things people didn't dare talk about in public. <BR/><BR/>The show was a major hit with the Khaleeji audience and ran for about 4 seasons. It also featured major comedy talents and celebs from Kuwait and the GCC.<BR/><BR/>It became a phenomenon(the same way Pokémon or the ninja turtles did at one point :P )<BR/><BR/>Ironically, the show was a victim of its own success. Its hilarious slapstick satire comedy wasn't enough to make up the fact that it was a 100% RIP OFF. <BR/><BR/>I believe the production company (Farroha Media Productions)was sued and i am not sure if it still exists.moryartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947593768240856478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1126512161948213592005-09-12T12:02:00.000+04:002005-09-12T12:02:00.000+04:00Its this week's Campaign Middle East - Last page (...Its this week's Campaign Middle East - Last page (the spin)moryartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947593768240856478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1126509987791178142005-09-12T11:26:00.000+04:002005-09-12T11:26:00.000+04:00secret dubai !!!are you serious about flip being s...secret dubai !!!<BR/><BR/>are you serious about flip being slagged ?? <BR/><BR/>haha .. can you please please please tell me which mag it was! i sure want to myself a copy!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1126470986581059742005-09-12T00:36:00.000+04:002005-09-12T00:36:00.000+04:00Amusingly, one of the ad mags has slagged off Flip...Amusingly, one of the ad mags has slagged off Flip for ripping off SP for the ads - not even bothering to check their facts first.
