Are these Indian ads making fun of Arab culture?



(click, via)
update: OK, their mouths are exposed so they can eat. Is that insensitive? I think so. We have a traditional burqa, a belly dancer and a sheik in ads for the Radisson Blu in Chennai, India promoting Middle Eastern "street food". Indians or Arabs or knowledgeable world travelers, please weigh in. Ad agency: JWT Chennai. Related: Here's a Jones soda ad that mocked Arabs and pretty much everybody else in the world.

PS: Last comment was completely sarcastic. Love what you are doing with your blog. One of the few mosaics left out there on the inter-um-nets. So thank you.
