A number of Lebanese citizens today attempted to tarnish the image of our country by sharing fabricated and fake images of flooded streets and roads. Luckily though, they were unable to drop loads of garbage on the streets like last time because the trash was already collected and burned (instead of being recycled) in order to spice up every Lebanese citizen’s morning traffic experience.
Anyway, I examined some of the pictures being shared and they were clearly fakes for obvious reasons:
1- The street light in the first picture shown above is off even though the shot was taken in broad daylight. It’s clearly a fake as street lights are generally turned on during the day in Lebanon to waste electricity and turned off at night to cause accidents.
2- A gas station, 3 empty chairs and no arguile around them? This picture was obviously not taken in Lebanon.
3- This is clearly a fake because the Lebanese government would never leave a hazardous object on the road like that.
4- There’s a generator in this picture while electricity in Lebanon is 24/7. It’s clearly cut out from an old movie about Lebanon when we barely had electricity.
5- There’s a Sukleen truck showing so this is clearly an old picture.
6- This is a wedding convoy and the flooded roads were part of the wedding theme.
These are the only two genuine pictures that I was able to find.
On another positive note, this guy’s dream may come true soon.
:p :p :p, it’s saddd ,tooo saddd anddd ironic , and they still only party…

You’ve got to admit, the ones inspired by Titanic are hilarious!
We have to do something about the sewage systems in Lebanon Every time it rains the country gets flooded. Also, during the summer we run out of water. We should implement a system to gather rain water to be stored for the summer and proper sewage systems so they do not over flow every time it rains. I mean, if the streets are flooded, how are we supposed to get to the clubs so we can party?!
Get a dingy. 😛
During the Syrian occupation of Lebanon; at a checkpoint a brilliant Syrian soldier stops a truck that’s carrying garbage. He sticks his head in and inhales then he says: The smell of my country!
Now Lebanese don’t need that Sukleen truck anymore. Guess the joke is on Lebanese now!
Hi Najib,
Consider adding a disclaimer to your title when posting sarcastic stuff like this. Some people are too lazy to read (and think) and just share on the basis of the title. And of course, others absorb the information as the truth without reading the full content.
Peace, Tom
This is hilarious!!! Hahahahaha
