  • Beirut Hotel banned in Lebanon?

    Danielle Arbid just posted on her Facebook page that her new movie “Beirut Hotel“, which was scheduled to be released on January 19th 2011, will banned because it endangers Lebanon’s security!

    I JUST BEEN NOTIFIED THAT MY LATEST FEATURE FILM BEIRUT HOTEL CANNOT BE SHOWN IN LEBANON ! ITS RELEASE IN BEIRUT, ORGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 19 JANUARY 2012, HAS JUST BEEN CANCELLED. THE CENSORSHIP COMMITTEE ARGUED THAT : “THE FILM WOULD ENDANGER LEBANON’S SECURITY.”
    PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS AND MOBILISE AGAINST MIDDLE AGES CENSORSHIP. I NEED YOUR SUPPORT…

    What a shame! As if the irresponsible statements (or farts?) our politicians make don’t endanger Lebanon’s security every single day!

    Update (December 12, 2011):

    The Daily Star published today that the movie was banned because it mentions the assassination of ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri!

  • Lebanese army commando eating a chicken alive

    Lebanese commandos are known to eating snakes at their their graduation ceremonies and during the shows they do occasionally. However, at one event they had to substitute the snake with a live chicken because of the cold weather, I have no idea about the relation between the two but that’s what the report says!

    I personally might consider eating a snake as a macho act, but I’m not so sure when it comes to a chicken…! It would have been perfect thought if the video showed one of the Lebanese Darak doing the same thing, you know with all the jokes about how much they love to eat chicken sandwiches!

  • Mustapha Alloush and Fayez Shokr fighting live on MTV

    Both of these two ex MP’s are actually doctors, yet they were able to drag their discussion to the lowest levels of nawraneh while debating about a foreign matter! Make sure to also check the outrageous comments on the video. That’s just insane!

  • And the Vote for Jeita ad is a copycat!

    After all the talk doubting the credibility of the organization behind the New 7 Wonders campaign, here comes Tarek to show us that Vote for Jeita ad is nothing but a copycat! Way to go ImpactBBDO!


    Update:
    Under the video description on YouTube, ImpactBBDO indicated the format is inspired by “5 friends”.

    Although the concept is based on a pure Lebanese insight, the format was inspired by “5 friends” renown film produced in 2008 by Steven Spielberg.”

  • Yara Khoury at Miss Universe 2011

    If you thought Rahaf Abdallah was an exception last year, then take a look at Yara Khoury’s answers at the web interviews in Miss Universe 2011. Looks like acting stupid is the new hot thing, and I say acting because one seriously can’t be that stupid by nature!

  • Yes, some people are that much addicted!

    Here’s what a group of guys came up with when they forgot to bring their Arguileh with them on a picnic.

    I can’t believe someone put time and effort to do this!

    Thanks Simon!

  • This menu will leave you in awe!

    I really can’t believe someone can be that bad in English… the menu items are just unreal!

    Tabboush snack is a proof that sucking at translation is not exclusive to Egyptians and Syrians (with all due respect), apparently Lebanese too can do a terrible job sometimes. The place offers Urination, Bebse, Duonas, Zaluoaa, Flesh, Black chickens, and a lot more… check for yourself.

    According to my friend who provided the photos, Tabboush made 25,000 copies of the menu… so there’s 25,000 copies of this thing possibly roaming the streets of Beirut and ready to massacre your brain at anytime!

  • Can political messages get any sillier than this?

  • The 90’s called…

    … and they want their cover design back!!

  • Valentine’s gold fish

    Putting a red ribbon on a small cat or dog is understood, but drawing a red heart on a gold fish is a bit too much… no? But hey, it’s Valentine! Everyone wants to make more money on this day including pet shops!

    Cruel? Cute? What do you think?
