You can shower me with your comments about the lady in niqab being free to celebrate and dance the way she pleases at the beginning of this video, but I’ll still find her funny!
Update:
It turned out the woman is actually mentally challenged. My cousin who lives in Tripoli confirmed it to me and claimed she’s from an area there called “Abou Samra”. You can also read Azmi’s input on the matter in the comments section.
These people found the ultimate solution to traffic jam in Lebanon, set up an Arguileh and share it with people around while stuck on the highway. Better yet, want to avoid fights during the wait? Add some Bekaai made “tobacco” to it!
Thank you @krikOrianm
Quite funny!
I guess this is the first brand to approach a group like Mafi Metlo? Good one anyway!
The hoax services that Google announces on each April Fools’ day are more like a tradition, and the Google 8-bit maps service has got to be the coolest joke for 2012. They actually announced yesterday that they will finally be adding support for the classic Nintendo Entertainment System with the launch of 8-bit maps featuring low resolution graphics.
And here’s how Beirut would have looked like on a NES!

It would be fun if “Akho Man2oushe” someday becomes a real competitor to places like Zaatar W Zeit and Leil Nhar!

Only in Lebanon?

Here’s one epic taxi driver. In just less than 30 seconds he managed to tell two Norwegian actors about his dream, almost crash into another car, and of course curse at the other driver!
The two actors are actually Jorgen and Matias, who over a period of 3 weeks shot a web series of 14 episodes while walking across Lebanon from north to south, and in each episode they chose to walk for a different cause, thus the name of series “Walk of Causes”. You may check the series website here, and their blog here.
Good catch by @__marwan__! “Avenue des Français” is by the way what we now know as the Saint George area in Beirut.
And believe it or not, vibrators were believed to be of medical use to cure what was called “Female hysteria” in the past!
I just found this funny web series called “Ed and Moe show” portraying the life of two best friends who left their jobs and started planning to become successful businessmen.
It gets interesting knowing that Moe (Moe Makki) is actually of Lebanese origins, and living in Dearborn right in the middle of what is known as “Little Lebanon” in USA.
They have a complete season on their website right now. I wonder if there will be a second one soon.
