Just when we thought the story of the Ethiopian maid that was beaten in front of her embassy might have reached a happy ending with identifying the guy appearing in the video and her ending up at Deir El-Salib for treatment, LBC reported that she committed suicide today!

Confessions of Lebanese taxi driver
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.
Ethiopian maid beaten in the street
This video was published by LBC and shows barbarism at its best. For some unknown reason, a man was publicly beating an Ethiopian maid reportedly in front of the Ethiopian embassy before forcing her to get into his car and take her back home.

Pink Link Sunday brunch at Phonecia hotel
This video is from the Pink Link brunch happening at Eau de Vie Phoenicia on the first and last Sunday of each month with the aim of raising donations to support breast cancer.
The brunch opens between 1PM and 5PM with live entertainment and sexy nurses taking good care of you, and it costs $55 for open buffet and bar, and$ 85 for open buffet including Rose champagne.
I have no idea till when this is going to last, but I got invited to Pink Link’s first edition on January 8th and for some reason just forgot to attend! Shoot me!

Snoop Dogg being sued by a Lebanese concert promoter
Lebanese police are reported to have started an investigation after a footage of Snoop Dogg smoking weed at some club in Beirut was featured in the music video for “That’s Tha Homie”.
Kalaouz claims Snoop blazed up some weed in the middle of a concert after-party — which is illegal in Lebanon — and then featured footage of the puff session in a music video for his song, “That’s Tha Homie” (image featured above).
Kalaouz claims Lebanese authorities caught wind of the weed smoking — and launched a criminal investigation into his company … leaving his reputation “severely damaged.” Source

Cheyef 7alak strikes again
Once again, Cheyef 7alak exposes another character we all see every day.
Still, I believe a campaign like Cheyef 7alak is not enough to get such scumbags to change. The extremist in me thinks these people should be shot dead, that’s how much they irritate me.
Lebanese army commando eating a chicken alive
Lebanese commandos are known to eating snakes at their their graduation ceremonies and during the shows they do occasionally. However, at one event they had to substitute the snake with a live chicken because of the cold weather, I have no idea about the relation between the two but that’s what the report says!
I personally might consider eating a snake as a macho act, but I’m not so sure when it comes to a chicken…! It would have been perfect thought if the video showed one of the Lebanese Darak doing the same thing, you know with all the jokes about how much they love to eat chicken sandwiches!
