The person who uploaded the video said he spotted it 3 to 4 miles from the shore near Tabarja.
Update: I just noticed the upload date is in 2010 not 2012. I must have misread it but no one mentioned it yet (not that I know of), so it’s worthy sharing.

It would have been better for LBCI never to have released the video of the 113 points, because we are getting laughed at all over the world now. The YouTube video has around half a million views now but has more dislikes than likes and the comments are mostly negative but also funny.
Here are few of them:
“is defense illegal in Lebanon?”
and the reply: they’re shot if they play any” am from lithuania,here basketball is nr1 of sports… this video is not about basketball… it makes my eays hurt:(”
“anyone who dislike this.. knows how to play basketball..”
“The player had terrorist connections. You try to guard him, you get your house bombed.”
“Mohammed passes to Mohammed who passes the ball to the post player, Mohammed. Mohammed misses but his teammate, Mohammed, gets the putback!”
“Lebanese Defense apparently involves giving stern looks”
“Feels like a scene from a Sasha Boren Cohen film. R.I.P Defense”
“I thought this was a Globetrotters game.”
At this rate, Mohammad el Akkari will soon become Lebanon’s Rebecca Black. (This is me commenting)
Despite all that, it’s not too late for the FIBA to discard this game and restore some dignity into our Lebanese Basketball League.
Is it me or does she sound very much like Rihanna? One thing’s for sure, the girl can sing!
Thanks Walid!

The video above is extracted from MTV Lebanon’s program “Ktir Salbe” and has been portrayed as being racist and not funny by activists and bloggers. Few months back, MTV came under fire for a “racist” report on the foreign workers in Burj Hammoud and Dora.
In my opinion, the ‘Ktir Salbe’ show as a whole is not funny at all in general and the video I posted is more lame than racist. The director of the show Hani Khafsheh tried defending it by saying Ktir Salbe has a double meaning in Arabic. You can say it in your daily life and it means ‘very cool.’ and the other meaning is the exact translation with is ‘very negative’… When we raise a serious subject, we talk about it as very negative, like what’s happening with maids, but It’s not very convincing to say the least.
In all, I wouldn’t go as far as calling MTV a racist channel because of few reports and a show, as the majority of its staff are smart and well-educated people, but I strongly believe they should be more cautious in their reports and comedy programs and send out the right message at all time. For example, they could have easily interviewed few non-Lebanese and more competent Lebanese or some officials in their Dora and Burj-Hammoud report and avoided filming random foreigners while taking about crimes and prostitution. Also, they could have covered the matter as an increase in crimes all over Lebanon, and specifically in poor and deprived areas. In fact, Dora and Burj Hammoud are doing relatively well when compared to other regions in Lebanon.
This is a parody created between friends as a critique of the explicit themes adopted by some artists in the music industry on both the Arab and international scenes.[YouTube]
I don’t know what people like about this video. I like the message behind it but that’s about it.
Watch the first act for more proof that Lebanese Police & Chicken are inseparable. KFC should set up a branch in every police station to enhance their performance.
Found this by mistake awhile ago and it turns out it took place in Lebanon. Pretty cool. [YouTube]
A woman from Lebanon brought zatar with her which is prohibited in Australia. Her son in law who has lived in Australia for 25 years is determined to bring the food whith him because it’s a typical Lebanon delicacy.
This guy REALLY wants his zaatar! [YouTube]
Thanks Thoraiya
