Lebanese elections billboard wars – 3
The subject of the third post of the billboard wars series is FPM’s “sois belle et vote” billboard, which was the talk of the Lebanese blogsphere yesterday. Today I got two photoshopped versions of it, the first one being a reply from the Lebanese Forces, and the second one from the FPM themselves replying to the LF.
So, here’s the original one.
And that’s how the Lebanese Focrces replied.
Then the FPM thought of doing a remake, inspired from Walid Jumblat’s leaked video.
Lebanese elections billboard wars – 2
On the road to any area in Lebanon you will notice dozens of billboards promoting the different parties or candidates running for the election. And on my way to Saida yesterday I saw the following ones.
That’s Nabih Berri on the left. Barri is trying to be original and is NOT imitating Barack Obama’s photos. Anyway, Nabih Berri is promoting unity between the muslims and the christians. 3a aseis ino noss Haraket Amal hinneh masi7iyyeh 😀 I’ll take hat as Berri being funny.
I dunno who that guy is, but the slogan is strong. Minimum ykoun shababouna la youstahan bihi! They did great in May 7th last year, and just today they killed 4 army soldiers.
The Future Movement is reminding us once again that they have not forgot their loss. Nothing new here, they’ve been making their followers live in an ongoing funeral for 4 years now! Min wein baddon yinso??
… aw Orange Orange!
Ok I’m convinced, and the Lebanese Forces followers are all civilized, I’ll keep it in my mind!
Last but not least, Haraket Amal is presenting to us the upcoming generation who will soon be roaming the streets with their motorcycles hinneh w 2eibbina. The ones who are currently “3am y2ibbouwa” will eventually become “kaweidir haraket amal”.

Right after the Future Movement lunched their advertisement campaign in Maten and Keserwan with the billboards below,
The Free Patriotic Movement responded with the following billboard!
I have to admit, this one is “2awiyyeh”.
Walid Jounblat interview with Playboy
Believe it or not, Playboy interviewed Walid Jounblat in their July 1984 issue! But no he did not appear naked (did I disppoint you?).
I’ve seen the cover a while ago and was checking if I can read the interview somewhere online, until I found it on the Ouwet blog.
For those of you who are interested, I’m publishing a scanned copy of the interview originally downloaded from the Ouwet blog by N10452. You must have plenty of free time in hand since it’s a long interview!

P.S: I think it would be nice if the parliamentary candidates for 2009 published their electoral program in the next issue of Playboy, that includes Hizbullah, Al-A7bash & Al-Jama3a Al-Islamiyya candidates.
On lowering the voting age to 18
18 years old “wazawiz” can now vote… plain stupid!
At the age of 18, students are merely wise enough to make a good choice about their major in the university, how do you expect them to make a “good” political choice?
Moreover, a lot of fights are erupting at some universities nowadays, especially in USJ Huvelin, but they’re never mentioned in the news. Imagine what would happen in the next election (2013) when students feel they have more “authority”.
Funny FPM Calendar
With the elections around the corner, I think it’s the right time to start publishing some political posts, bas 3a zaw2eh 😉
There isn’t too much writing for the first post, I just found this photo on Facebook today showing a page in the Free Patriotic Movement calendar. Check which days have been marked in February!
Definitely deserves a LOL 😛 (Unless you’re a Aouni, then I understand…!)
Now to make it clear, NO I’m not against the FPM.
