Speech Market

Just 7 days for the elections, and 8 days until one of the camps (be it 8 March or 14 March) claims victory and the other “yonjolit”.

Meanwhile, politicians are showering us with their speeches. Some samples are found in the below video.

I vote for Diamony

Ma badda tnein yi7ko fiya!

vote-for-diamony

After the FPM’s “soit belle” and 14 March’s “soit egale”, here’s our latest contestants “Diamony”. In my opinion, she wins! ๐Ÿ˜€

Billboards FAIL

Have you seen the latest 14 March billboards in the streets, and in specific the one below?

soit-egale-et-vote

It really is so obvious now, the Free Patriotic Movement are leading straight in the ads game, while 14 March are breathless behind trying desperatly to catch up. “Sois egale et vote”, they really call that a reply? And in the first place, did the FPM claim in their “Sois belle et vote” ad that women are inferior? Silly meaningless reply, that’s it, period.

What really got on my nerves though is the billboard that says “I think there14 I am”. How do you read that? And what does it mean?!

Charbel Khalil and Charles Ayoub

In his show “Basmat Watan”, Charbel Khalil made fun of Charles Ayoub in one of the sketches showing, in an indirect way, that Ayoub’s articles are so bad that one can use them instead of toilet paper. Recall that Charles Ayoub declared his candidacy in Keserwan againt Michael Aoun.

Today, Charles Ayoub replied like a bitch on Khalil’s sketch with an small article on the front page titled “Chabrle Khalil el khara”! And here’s what he wrote:

It’s indisputably low, Charbel Khalil did not mention names in the sketch. I was rarely biased in this blog, but in this case I’m gonna go all the way with Charbel Khalil, at least he’s not a bitch that politicians buy and sell whenever they want!

Update (5/16/2009):

I also found this caricature of Charbel Khalil published along with the article.

Lebanese elections billboard wars – 4

Right after the Free Patriotic Movement published this billboard:

joumhouriyyeh-teilteh

The Lebanese Forces replied with this one:

joumhouriyyeh-teilteh-lf

The FPM’s billboard says “The third republic is for sure”, while the Lebanese Forces billboard shows that the third republic’s flag is going to be yellow, i.e. ruled by hizbollah, proving that the FPM are hizbollah’s puppets. More explanation on that can be found here. I liked the LF reply, regardless if it is true or not!

Notice that this Lebanese Forces billboard can also be spotted in Tarik El-Jadida, a Sunni area in Beirut, and I honestly find it ironic. In 2009, 19 years after the Lebanese civil war, the Lebanese Forces are warning the Sunnis from the Shia’s agenda… Fews years ago, the Sunnis of Tarik El-Jadida used to admire Nasrallah and mock Samir Geagea in prison!

FPM’s newest billboards

Just when I thought the Free Patriotic Movement have reached the peak of their advertising campaign with the last post, I was surprised to see more NICE billboards today on the way to work. I am starting to think I’m lucky that my workplace is in Metn!

wifak-nifak

tighyir-ti3tir

tasadom-tafeihom

shirkeh-sharakeh

The Free Patriotic Movement used antonyms here not only to describe in one word their plan for the next 4 years, but also to explain March 14’s agenda if they took the majority once again in the upcoming elections (from FPM’s point of view).

Chapeaux bas once again. I think there’s no way for March 14 to catch up with FPM’s campaign… unless they were hiding some surprises!

Carlos striking back!

Passing by Jounieh Saturday morning, on my way to Tripoli, I encountered this sign.

carlos-edde

As you can see, Carlos Edde used the Free Patriotic Movement’s language to strike back at them. Although it is an imitation, but not bad as a start…!

More elections billboards!

Once again, I don’t belong to the Free Patriotic Movement, and I don’t support Michael Aoun, however I can’t but admire their campaign for the upcoming elections in Lebanon.

Here are the newest billboards I encountered on my way to work:

change-guy
The ad says “June 7, Change”

change-girl

there-is-a-chance

Wether you support FPM or not, you can’t but like them! It’s clear they’re putting effort into their campaign and it’s working!

On the ther hand, the Lebanese Forces latest ad was silly, even the LFers themselves are admitting it.

you-can

Leaving the roads and moving to Facebook You can find some hilarious designs like these two!

zay-bahiyyeh
Showing Fouad El-Sanioura in Bahia Hariri’s veil, making fun of the Future Movement slogan “Zay ma hiyyeh” (As it is).

aouniswimmers
No comment!

With that I end my “visual” post for today! Have a NICE LONG weekend!! ๐Ÿ˜€
