I saw this banner signed by “the people of Achrafiyyeh” at Sassine square last week right after the municipality elections was over, and it only lasted for a few days there before it was removed.
Translation: The proud Achrafieh is loyal to Antoune Sehnaoui
How can people be loyal to a gangster? Is he Don Corleone or something? I bet it was Sehnaoui’s bodyguards who put up that banner!
If you have passed by Dora in the last few days then you must have noticed the new Marie France ads displayed all over the highway, there are tens of them on the road!
On my way back from work yesterday I was surprised to see each and every one of these ads ripped in the middle (right on the chest area)!
Apparently someone felt irritated of this campaign and decided to take matters into his own hands! We’re actually used to these acts from time to time in other areas where provocative ads get covered with black spray, but not in Dora.
So who could be the one this time? I doubt it’s a religious extremist group, I say it might be some feminist movement…
I was on my way to Beirut on Sunday when I saw these guys literally having a party on the highway all the way from Halat to Jounieh!
Everyone in the car was standing, including the driver…
… since he can drive with his feet!
They kept exchanging CD’s with the Picanto on the left.
“the party don’t start until I walk in” more wazawiz are here!
Surprisingly (or not), there were several policemen on the road and none of them bothered to stop that car!
That’s definitely taking “wazwaza” to a whole new level!
I was on my way to work this morning when I saw this Porsche Panamera with a parliamentary plate number.
While members of the Lebanese parliament can afford such luxury car (priced at around $150,000?) from the salary that they work “really hard” to earn at the end of each month from the taxes we pay for (especially on gas and phone bills), the average employee in Lebanon can hardly afford a Kia Pianto, and of course cries his heart out when visiting Lebanon Motor Show.
The issue has been raised on the Tayyar.org website two days ago. As you can see in the snapshot below taken from the regulations page, Samir Kassir’s contest is open to journalists in several countries including Israel!
I have no idea what journalists from Israel have to do with this contest, and I am surprised that until today those who are responsible of it still have not fixed it or even provided an explanation. Oh and please don’t blame it on a copy paste mistake!
Sniffing powder to get an energy boost? That’s the ultimate “faseid”!!
Whoever thought of importing this to Lebanon is a corrupt mind. It simply makes it easy on drug addicts to practice their “tizyii7″ habits publicly while pretending it’s the Bullshot powder!
What’s the real use of a drainage system if it is unable to remove water when it heavily rains? Or is it designed in Lebanon to just accommodate the water that comes out of Im Salim’s house lama toshtof bayta?
To my bad luck I was on the road in Tarik El-Jadida when it was heavily raining in Beirut today, I’ll just leave the photos to speak about how bad the situation was there.
According to this news article, chief Achraf Rifi issued an “unusual” order to his force calling on them to vote in favor of Jeita Grotto for the seven natural wonders of the world.
“I gave orders to 23,500 police officers to cast their ballot in favor of Jeita Grotto so that they do their part as citizens and our entry comes out the winner,” General Achraf Rifi told AFP, in commenting on his written order.
Next week’s “unusual” order will be calling them to either join the Internal Security Forces group on Facebook, or become fans of his Facebook page.
Mr. Rifi, teach your officers how to respect us and behave well in the streets before giving them orders to do online voting!
A friend of mine sent me the below photo today asking me to publish it on the blog.
This is an insane environmental crime! I pity the Zouk inhabitants who have to breath these toxins every single day. All politicians know very well that these factories need to be replaced as soon as possible, and they all go on TV to talk about the problem but none of them suggests a solution. Screw you Lebanese parliament members, I am proud I did not vote to anyone of you.
