  • Fadel Shaker takes pride in killing two Lebanese soldiers

    This guy is disgusting! I hope the news about him and Al-Assir fleeing to Syria are false and that the Lebanese army capture them as soon as possible.

  • Photos from the clashes in Saida

    The clashes between Ahmad Al-Assir gunmen and the Lebanese army have been going for around 24 hours now and it seems like the army is determined on either arresting Ahmad Al-Assir or getting him out of his complex in a body bag.

    According to The Daily Star, the clashes have so far claimed the lives of at least 17 soldiers and more than 25 gunmen.

    Below are some photos I managed to collect through twitter as well as a video showing some bodies of the gunmen. I hope it all end soon for the good people of Saida.

  • Another vibrator ad from the 1960s

    Looks like these “massaging devices” were quite popular back in the 60s! You can check another ad I posted last year here.

    vibrator ad

    Even though selling sex toys is considered illegal in Lebanon, I always spot some vibrators on display at some pharmacies like Mazen in Cornishe El Mazraa.

    I guess legalizing these toys will definitely ease the tension between the sexually frustrated fighting militias nowadays!

  • The sorry state of Lebanon

    The below video sums up pretty much the current situation in Lebanon. Slowly but surely, gunmen all over the country seem to gain more control on the ground, while the army is appearing weak and helpless.

    Back when I wrote that the army should be firmer when dealing with these militias, everyone and their mothers started attacking me and called me ignorant, and I admitted back then that calling for bombing Ersal was too extreme from me. So I really want to know what do these people suggest to stop such groups from hijacking entire towns and areas whenever they please!
