It’s summertime so you know what that means! [YouTube]

It’s definitely not the wind that tore down the huge poster.

Not only is the ad dangerous for drivers, but it’s also ugly and a copycat.

Beit Misk offers Electricity 24/7, Water 24/7, Solar Heating, Gas Piping and Fiber Optics, basically everything that the Lebanese people dream of. Too bad though that a very small minority of Lebanese can afford to buy a house there.

However, and like Tarek stated, I don’t think the Lebanese are ready for such a change. I mean can you imagine no “moteur”? no blackouts? slow internet? no water? Lebanese would lose it if there’s no element of surprise and all their basic needs are met.

Welcome to Third World Lebanon, where electricity has become a privilege for the rich only.

First Communion is a traditionally important festive occasion for Catholic & Maronite families in Lebanon and is usually celebrated in the month of May.

Kelee, a shop in Zouk Mosbeh that sells gifts and gadgets for all occasions, is drawing attention by keeping Incense burning in front of its place for a few days. That ought to get him few extra customers especially that almost everyone living in that area has to pass in front of the shop to head to Beirut or Jbeil.

However, Kelee should have executed its idea better as the incense burner is badly placed and looks cheap. One might think it’s the Jean & Jean shop or nearby garage wishing everyone a blessed first communion. Garages in Lebanon are very religious as we all know.

I am loving Cafe Najjar’s new ads. I saw another one on TV but could not find it on YouTube. While looking for it, I found this really old Cafe Abi Nasr ad. I remember singing that song for weeks back when the ad came out.

The ad cracked me up.

I second that!

I’ve seen singers and celebrities posing for brands or bridal shops but not advertising their song at the same time.

I posted back in Jan 24 that famous Krikita ad that was invading (and still is) Local TVs and wanted to make an experiment to see if it’s possible for the girl to snatch a cricri from the guy’s hand while jogging?

Well my brother and his friends finally did the experiment and it failed on all times. You can’t snatch a cricri while jogging from someone’s cricri bag. Myth busted!

I told him to upload it to that Crest & Oral-B Arabia Spread the Smile competition. It’s funnier than all the videos and photo I’ve seen there.

Update: It’s official. He uploaded it. It’s still under moderation but you can still view it here and vote [here] until it’s cleared.

Start listening at Minute 1:01 in the video below.

The Four Cats Lebanese band redid this song few years back. [YouTube]

I see the Crest & Oral-B Arabia competition has improved from submitting the best smile to spreading a smile. It’s definitely better than last year as there were many people not even smiling submitting their photos, including our famous BlogBaladi Candidate, the girl with the red hat, who lost to Mira Zeidan.

If anyone spots her picture among the candidates, please let us know.

I checked few videos and photos, the top-rated ones are not that funny and some are worth reporting to the police (Check Robert Tannoury’s video in the latest entries) but there’s still time and I am sure Lebanese can get more creative than that!

The above announcement was made in 1967. I wonder if we’ll ever be able to visit Jerusalem.
