Lebanese hypercar to be unveiled in Qatar this month
According to this article in Trade Arabia, a Lebanese hypercar called “LykanHypersport 2013” produced by W Motors will be unveiled at Qatar Motor Show later this month. The car will cost $3,400,000, and only 7 units of it will be built which will make it the world’s most exclusive car.
The Lykan’s specifications include: a flat 6, twin-turbo, mid-rear positioned 750 horsepower engine delivering 1000 NM of torque takes the vehicle from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.8 seconds to reach the break neck maximum speed of 390 kilometers per hour.
For those that enjoy the finer things in life, the lavishness of the LykanHypersport 2013 takes luxury to a whole new level. Diamond -encrusted LED lights and gold-stitched interior leather guarantee that the passengers travel in style. Other high-level specifications include a reverse door opening system, a state-of-the-art 3D Virtual Holographic display with tactile interaction, and an innovative ID4Motion interactive dashboard.
As a gift for buying the most exclusive car in the market, owners will be awarded with a Special Edition Cyrus Klepcys Watch, worth over $200,000. Like the LykanHypersport 2013, only seven watches will be produced.
The Lykan looks really cool and I really wish W Motors sell all of their 7 units, but would car enthusiasts be really interested in spending $3.4 million on a Lebanese made car?

Bel Jerm El Machhoud busting yet another brothel
In the first part of the show, security forces find out the place they targeted was abandoned, and therefore decide in the second part to follow the suspects to their new location where some people got the scare of their lives after getting caught in the act!
Is it about time we make prostitution legal again in Lebanon?

May Hariri VS. MTV Lebanon
Dispute with Ziad Rahabni at Event Hill
I actually heard a lot of people complaining about Ziad Rahbani’s latest concert since it was poorly managed and because they were expecting him to perform more of his old repertoire.

Joe Maalouf sues a Lebanese blogger
So much for calling his show “Enta Horr”! And I hope MTV Lebanon is aware of what this guy is doing!
After bashing Joe Maalouf for his show that caused pain, hardship and torture to 36 innocent Lebanese men, and suggesting rumors were floating that he might be a closeted gay man himself, the heroic freedom fighter with the show title “Enta Horr” (you are free) filed a lawsuit against this blog and several others. The legal proceedings went unbelievably fast (most definitely bribes + political corruption) and in a matter of days, we were being sought after by the Lebanese security apparatus (research-wise that is… who we are, what we do, etc.)
My favorite part was when someone representing him said “Joe Maalouf ma byontal” (Joe Maalouf is untouchable). That was when I felt disgust and pity to this hypocrite of a bigoted homophobe. He has a prime time show on TV that is supposed to protect individual rights, freedoms and freedom of expression. But, when folks express themselves freely, he does miracles to try and land them in jail.

Homophobic comments on Men El Ekhir
What’s the point of hosting a gay person in your show if you already know the other guest cannot handle him?
Check out the comments this guy got after Pierre Rabbat interviewed him about a silly video he posted on YouTube and went viral. The interview starts at 1h16m50s, and the video should automatically start playing at that mark.

The whole episode was funny by the way, it’s worth watching if you have some time on hands.
Al Jadeed TV fires an employee while on maternity leave
Make sure to check out this video from Now Lebanon featuring an ex-employee called Shirine who used to work with the Chi.N.N team in Al Jadeed TV and went on a maternity leave after having a baby, only to be surprised with a phone call during her leave claiming that the Al Jadeed no longer needs her since the person who replaced her is doing the job well and for less money.
I was quite surprised with the story Shirine was telling since Al Jadeed TV is well known for their news reports focusing on malpractices such as the one they did, in addition to the fact that Chi.N.N is known for harshly criticizing the Lebanese society and political scene, and the least you would expect is for them to commit such mistake.
Still, I believe that the reporter Maha Hoteit, whom I deeply respect and have known during school days, should have also covered the other side of the story by interviewing the people in charge at Al Jadeed TV.
