Zaatar Zein is back!

IMG_8320.JPG

Back in 2011, Zein El Atat took a blow when his products were banned in Lebanon and several Gulf countries. But for some reason, he seems to be back now with these ugly billboards and an even uglier TV commercial!

With the food safety campaign being carried out in Lebanon right now, I believe Zein El Atat’s comeback is more like a slap on Abou Faour’s face!

Champagne and caviar at ABC Cinema

Seems like champagne and caviar will be served at the soon to be open cinema theaters in ABC Dbayeh. To each his own, but do we really need this?

City Mall is also planning to have something similar at their “Cinemacity Premier”, which is expected to have the largest screen in Lebanon with 400 stadium seats and a VIP section according to what they’re advertising at the mall.

Total Lebanon introduces Total Effimax

Have you seen the latest billboard by Total Lebanon?

They claim their new Effimax fuel has additives that reduce fuel consumption and extend the life of a car’s engine. With the current price we’re paying for fuel here, I definitely want to drive more for the same amount I’m paying, and I hope this is not false advertising!

As compared to regular 95 and 98 octane fuels, TOTAL Effimax stands out by its unique proprieties and benefits:

TOTAL Effimax reduces costs
Thanks to its components the TOTAL formula improves combustion properties of fuels and gives them better performance. TOTAL Effimax reduces the fuel consumption and maintenance costs of the vehicle.

Dahieh’s best pizza

Why in Dahieh specifically? Why not “The best pizza in Lebanon” instead?

And why don’t we see similar billboards in other places like Jounieh or Tripoli for example?

Beyonce’s Heat ads vandalized at Dora highway

Seems like Beyonce’s new Heat perfume ads were too provocative for some people! I was on my way to work this morning when I noticed they were vandalized overnight at Dora highway. (Same as what happened to Marie France’s ads back in May)

The act is pretty weird though… there are much more other explicit ads all over the country, why did they decide to just target this one?

Anyway, it’s good no one thought of playing the video commercial of the perfume at one of the newly installed outdoor giant screens!

Tnein bi 15

Tnein bi 15? Yalla!! Ahh tnein subscriptions…

This is a new billboard advertisement for CableVision that is all over the streets now.

Joe has already pointed out that it’s a copycat, but I would like to add that the use of a hot girl in such ad is VERY cheap!

Lebanese elections billboard wars – 4

Right after the Free Patriotic Movement published this billboard:

joumhouriyyeh-teilteh

The Lebanese Forces replied with this one:

joumhouriyyeh-teilteh-lf

The FPM’s billboard says “The third republic is for sure”, while the Lebanese Forces billboard shows that the third republic’s flag is going to be yellow, i.e. ruled by hizbollah, proving that the FPM are hizbollah’s puppets. More explanation on that can be found here. I liked the LF reply, regardless if it is true or not!

Notice that this Lebanese Forces billboard can also be spotted in Tarik El-Jadida, a Sunni area in Beirut, and I honestly find it ironic. In 2009, 19 years after the Lebanese civil war, the Lebanese Forces are warning the Sunnis from the Shia’s agenda… Fews years ago, the Sunnis of Tarik El-Jadida used to admire Nasrallah and mock Samir Geagea in prison!

Cedric and Sara – The real story

Almost three weeks ago, Liliane (from lilzi.blogspot.com) blogged about this cool billboard at Antellias:

marry

The billboard says “Sara… Will you marry me? Cedric”. At that time, I think every girl was envying Sara and wishing to find a guy like him. And I honestly felt jealous of him!

But just today, Tarek (from beirutntsc.blogspot.com) revealed the truth! It wasn’t a real proposal, it was a pure advertisement for Sleep Comfort.

The girls can now breath I guess, men like Cedric do NOT exist!!
