Are advertisers considering tattooing beautiful Lebanese girls to gain more advertising space? This is only a rumor. Let it be known, Lebanese girls are neither “for sale’ nor “for rent”.
Why the surprise and the outrage? You only have to look at the latest campaign by our ministry of tourism portraying Beirut as not only a party town but a cheap brothel, to realize that Lebanon has lost its place as a hub for culture in the middle east. Long have gone the days when people flocked from all corners of the globe to visit our historical sites and enjoy theatrical plays and concerts in Baalbeck, Jbeil..etc. Now it has been replaced by 3rd grade playboy playmates hosting a DJ party at Edde Sands, K Lynn fashion shows in Faraya and a Down Town that only caters to the sexual needs of our Arab "benefactors". Yes be outraged (as I am) by such vulgar and demeaning billboards; but take it a step further and gather yourselves in order to reclaim dignity for our country.
