My Pitch for Qatar 2022 World Cup Ad Space

black, fade in with tortured screams, cut into-

dungeon with 3 imprisoned workman in chains being tortured by 3 stereotypical Arabs/Muslims/Terrorists/etc, cut to-

small b/w tv on a table in the corner, announcer (in Arabic) "...blah blah blah World Cup 2022! Blah blah! Qatar! Blah blah," cut to-

everyone stops and looks at the tv. creaking of chains.

tv announcer "...blah blah Uzbekistan versus Iceland!" cut to-

raised eyebrows as all eyes meet. cut to-

the torture continues, but the everyone is distracted, paying attention to the tv, with only the occasional electrocution with a disinterested 'Ow' in response.

tv announcer's voice becomes more animated, motion/sound in the room stops completely. from the tv "and...and, and, AND AND AND....GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

everyone goes crazy, Qataris jumping up and down and prisoners rattling in their hanging chains. Some torturer trips and falls on another, screams from all around, someone hits the camera person and cut to-

VODAFON.
