Another art work by Mark Jenkins at Beirut Souks

Posted by Najib

I posted few weeks back about the creepy sculpture of a woman lying below a bench at the Beirut Souks. As it turns out, there’s another one which I did not notice before, two men hanging down from the wall edge that you can see in the pictures.

I made a quick search and it appears this sculpture was initially part of the White Wall Project held in Beirut back in September. Funnily enough, during the opening of the exhibition police showed up at the event foolishly thinking the two guys hanging from the wall edge were real and not art. The sculptures were removed as they were seen as a security threat. [Source]



Dancing With the Stars on MTV soon

Posted by Najib

Dancing with the Stars is a dance competition where the contestant pairs consist of a celebrity and a professional dancer. It’s been running in the U.S for 15 consecutive seasons now on ABC.

I liked MTV’s promotions but I kept wondering what would really happen in Lebanon if someone pulls something like that in real life like a waiter taking some guy’s girlfriend for a spin. He would probably got beaten up or shot lol!

LBCI launches new frequencies

Posted by Najib

That’s a very smart move from LBCI. MTV should have taken a similar initiative instead of deciding not to cover activities that give Lebanon a bad image.

LBCI launched new frequencies that will allow the audience to watch its programs without a repeated interruption by newsflashes. For those who want to stay posted on the latest news updates, they could stay tuned to the current frequencies. However, for those wishing to watch LBCI’s episodes without a repeated interruption, they could tune in to the channel with the red LBCI logo.

As per LBC’s website, you can tune in to the new frequencies on:

• Cablevision frequency 11960 MHz – Symbol Rate 30000
• Econet frequency 12120 MHz – Symbol Rate 31250
• Digiteck frequency 12420 MHz – Symbol rate 28175
• Over UCL/Platinum Cable Receiver.

Kayrouz Bakery opened recently in Jounieh and is making its presence felt. I like the play on words.



Batroun to make the World’s largest glass of lemonade

Posted by Najib

[YouTube]

Some 200 people will squeeze some 2,200 kilos of lemon which will be added to 1,000 kilos of sugar, 3,000 liters of water, and 1,000 kilos of ice cubes. Together, the participants will make 5,200 liters of lemonade, which will fill a glass 285 cm high and 140 cm at its base with 185 cm opening.

“The lemonade will be clean and fit to drink, and it will be distributed for free on beaches and in restaurants and other public places after announcing the new Guinness World Record at the end of Batrouni Lemonade Day,” Khoury said, adding that lemonade will also be distributed along the city’s main roads.

Even though it’s another pointless Guinness World Record, it’s very hot these days and I am sure everyone will need a fresh Lemonade. We will probably set another Guinness World Record in emptying the largest glass of lemonade.

Increase in road car accidents in Lebanon

Blame the beautiful babes of Beirut.

You spot this billboard shown above when you are going up City Mall’s very illogical bridge.

This one is on your way back from Nahr el mot towards Jal el Dib.
