The EDZ (Electricité De Zahlé) online campaign has been a brilliant one up until their latest ad. I love how they are shedding light on Zahle’s lifestyle and issues in a funny way and how they are bragging about their 24/7 electricity but they should have left guns out of it. In their latest ad which was shared yesterday, they show a young man from Zahle pulling a gun just because he couldn’t find a spot on the street to pee.
I don’t really understand what’s funny about that and I personally don’t know anyone from Zahle who carries a gun around with him when he’s out. Whether it does reflect Zahle’s society or not, carrying guns in public is dangerous and reckless. Moreover, this ad couldn’t have come at a worse time especially after what happened during Skaff’s funeral in Zahle last week.
I’m still jealous though that they have 24/7 electricity and water. Maybe they should think of promoting Zahle as a safe city and encourage Lebanese and tourists to visit it.

Hi, I understand your point of view and we are all against carrying guns and other similar things, but let me remind you did you ever heard about any guns being used or showed of before in Zahle? I believe this ad is only followed by the last funeral and one more thing you have now a friend from zahle and I am a fan of your blog since many years… wish you all the best and dont take a bad idea about zahle (Dar Salam), we are peacful people like we’ve been always 🙂
