Lebanon: A Love Story

2012-02-14T08:24:00.001+02:00

Rafic Hariri - November 1, 1944 – February 14, 2005

Secret Love

2012-02-13T19:23:00.000+02:00

It’s a secret, even from her.

One Love

2012-02-13T07:12:00.001+02:00

One for you, two for me.

Ripple Effect

Sometimes spreading the love can end up with a doctor’s visit. Here’s a friendly reminder from This Is Beirut and the Lebanese Red Cross

Grounds For Dismissal

Let’s hope the Emirates Lebanon Bank is better with numbers than they are with letters.

Quoting from ELB’s website- Its' About Time to Build on Solid Ground

“Following the tragic event that unfolded Sunday January 15 in Fassouh Achrafieh, one should learn for the future... and quickly.
Emirates Lebanon Bank calls upon all concerned parties to join hands in order to prevent similar tagic events.”

BDBS Editorial*** The grammar mistake on ELB’s billboard as well as the typo and total disregard for punctuation in the text from their website is unacceptable from any company or ad agency, let alone from a bank. It must also be noted that this ad is in response to the tragic collapse of a residential building and the subsequent loss of life, property and homes. The idea of a bank promoting a firm foundation is a strong message, yet in this case it not only is insensitive but is also a premature assumption. The ongoing investigation into the cause of the building collapse is incomplete and there is only speculation as to the real cause of the tragedy. Knowing that this ad is in response to the building collapse makes the images of tumbling blocks used in this ad disturbing.

The billboard ad gives no indication that it’s part of a bigger message via their website. After reading the online message, what once appeared as the misuse of “grounds” versus “ground” has now become a total disaster of an ad campaign. Emirates Bank of Lebanon basically says that from now on, Lebanon shouldn’t do this again. They’ve done a terrific job of stating the obvious. If they wanted to make this ad in response to the tragedy, why not express condolences or have a plan to help finance the rebuilding of lives? Better yet, why not take the money spent on spreading this billboard ad all over Beirut and donate those funds to the Lebanese Red Cross?

Lebanon’s Electricity Crisis

2012-01-31T00:15:00.001+02:00

In the spirit of cooperation, the Ministry of Energy and Water along with the Ministry of Agriculture have unveiled an innovative plan to provide short term relief due to Lebanon’s cold winter and severe power shortages, note however, you won’t actually feel any warmer but after a little while, you just won’t care.

Shooting Blanks

2012-01-25T02:19:00.002+02:00

The Lebanese government has threatened to remove illegal billboards by the end of 2011. Are they serious or shooting blanks? Is January the worst month on record for sales of outdoor ad space? Did the advertisers hear the complaints about visual pollution? Maybe the copywriters simply ran out of things to say…… And didn’t find anything “inspiring” worth copying.

The Winter Of Our Discontent

2012-01-18T15:24:00.001+02:00

The tragic loss of life and homes in Ashrafieh, the disturbing idea of rape between husband and wife or anyone else for that matter, playing russian roulette with decaying, crumbling bridges, relentless traffic jams, keeping your family warm and clean on 10 amps, an impotent government, the WWW struggles with SOPA, PIPA and DMCA and even Saad Hariri got bit by the Twitter Bug. It’s been a tough winter. Maybe it’s time for a nice cup of tea and a nap.

Fear Factor should just be a TV show……. not where you live.

Marital rape. Should there be a law against it? Yes. What if it can’t be enforced? It should still be illegal. It’s already immoral. When she said “I do” that wasn’t a general consent to anything, anytime, anyway. Lebanon’s ratio of men to women is 7:1. Could Lebanese women be the next revolution? They’re getting angry and it’s hard to hide from your mothers, sisters and daughters. The protest begins January 14th.

Gas in Lebanon is so expensive that service drivers stop for 5000LL, expensive sport car drivers quietly ask for 10,000LL. A full tank gets you sparklers and a cork popping.

Banking In Beirut: The Musical

2012-01-06T19:44:00.003+02:00

Lebanese banks have good reason to sing and dance. The Global Economic Crisis meant record deposits. Now uncertainty from regional unrest, growing public debt and the curiosity of the U.S.Treasury Department is tempered by the perfect trifecta of vast gold reserves, reliable remittances and Lebanon’s legendary banking secrecy laws. Maybe we’ll see Riad Salameh do a little dance in Banking In Beirut : The Sequel

Quitting smoking is the #1 resolution most people make and by day 4, it’s the one that most people break. Next year it might be a little easier for you. The Lebanese government ban on smoking will take effect and you won’t be tempted with ads like these unless, of course, that ban ends up like our well intentioned annual resolutions.

Big Deal

2012-01-01T21:23:00.002+02:00

2011 was the year of the Arab Spring, leaving Lebanon to ironically appear amazingly calm and steady. Lebanon’s finances suffered from a slow summer season along with a banking scandal detailed in this New York Times report. BeirutSpring.com has a nice round-up of Lebanon’s non-political stories for 2011.
The Port of Beirut continues to be a major success story with phenomenal growth this last year. Lebanon’s ancient history of shipping and trading thrives here as does the age-old custom of bribes at the port.

New Year’s Resolutions

2011-12-30T23:15:00.002+02:00

Our well intended resolutions are in place just waiting for the reality of the New Year. Will we quit smoking? Lose weight? Get those six-pack abs? Let’s forget about our own resolutions and make some for Lebanon’s politicians since they are having some trouble making them alone.
Lebanon’s Top 10 Resolutions for 2012- 1) 24/24 Electricity without generators. 2) Preserve Lebanon’s water resources. 3) Repair roads. 4) Revamp public transportation. 5) Prioritize waste management. 6) Protect workers, both foreign and domestic. 7) Provide all Lebanese with a quality education. 8) Pay the bills, don’t let Lebanon’s debt ruin our future. 9) Telecommunications: decrease cost and increase quality. 10) Paralyzing traffic costs Lebanese citizens time and money.
Maybe it would be easier to just go for the six-pack abs.

Just a few shopping days left ‘til Christmas….. Still thinking? Does she want something “snaily”? Something that Miss Italy would wear? Does she want a diamond the size of her head?But wait. You’ve worked hard this year and that Mercedes is nice too Gift shopping is exhausting. All I really want for Christmas is lunch. Every day is a gift and it is the thought that counts … but don’t forget that little box wrapped in pretty paper.

Do You Believe?

2011-12-21T00:32:00.002+02:00

Maybe your parents stopped believing in Santa but sadly too many parents still believe in Lebanon’s politicians. Shhhhhh….don’t tell anyone but some very loyal followers of many politicians have stopped believing. Maybe it’s because the ones who were nice got a lump of coal and the naughty ones got the nice stuff.

Color Your Christmas

2011-12-20T08:10:00.002+02:00

Was the Heineken ad in Dbayeh “inspired” by this other giant green bottle in Jounieh? There’s no online voting for Golden Star but in an informal survey, virtually all Lebanese homes have a bottle of olive oil in the kitchen. The beer of choice on Facebook appears to be Heineken but the overwhelming beer of choice in Lebanon is…… here’s a hint. It starts with an “A” and ends with an “A”.

                                   Enjoy chocolat….          We stop at the boulangerie, charcutier and patisserie.                         Don’t forget the Bûche de Noël             Oh Là Là! You could win a trip to Paris! Bonne Chance!

It all seemed too good to be true……Could it be those promises of better internet were finally happening?Yeah..exactly. Who are we kidding? Ontornet confirms the promises have fallen short. So it’s business as usual in Lebanon. Lousy internet, embarrassing electricity service, overpriced mobile phone rates, sketchy landline connections, mountains of water and yet not enough in the water tank, politicians making fools of themselves, unbearable traffic on poorly maintained roads and you still need to know somebody to get things done or at the very least you’ll need to “pay this guy”.

2011-12-01T17:48:00.003+02:00

Thanks to the Beirut Marathon Association for giving me a chance to get out of my car and stand with the real media pro’s on race day!

           It all started very early in the morning…..yawn.

         These are my heroes. They’re unstoppable.

       The 5K fun run gave everyone a chance to participate.

The 1K Run with Mom is a great idea, don’t all Mom’s run after their kids anyway?

This was the 1K Special race for VIPS and of course some politicians. It really should be renamed the “Photo Op” race.

                       King of the Hill- Maxime Chaya

Queen of the Marathon- May El-Khalil along with Sports Legend- Edwin Moses (special thanks to that guy for setting up the shot)

I bet Miss USA Rima Fakih was excited to finally meet our very own Ziad Baroud who just happens to have 60,000 facebook fans!

        My advice, do not get in their way! They mean business!

The 42K is the big race but the 10K is the really really big race with over 20,000 participants.

   Of course there’s a guy on his cell phone, this is Lebanon!

                Our much loved Lebanese Red Cross.

            Lots of people were out playing in the street.

Sagmeister - Aishti Beirut Ad Campaign

2011-11-26T21:21:00.002+02:00

It appears that this depressing and widely ignored ad campaign will continue to terrorize Beirut citizens into 2012 as this billboard building changes infrequently. Fellow blogger Rita posted this: My Misadventure At Aishti with her take on the campaign. The interesting part of this campaign is the enthusiasm the agency seems to have for it and the total lack of enthusiasm from Beirutis. It’s too boring to even generate the negative buzz the Lebanese Blogosphere is known for creating. We get that Aishti uses golden-yellow boxes and bags. Yawn……
Sagmeister Inc. created the Aishti Ad [link] (NSFW-some nudity). Here’s what they say about the ad campaign…….
“Advertising Campaign for Aishti, a luxury department store in Beirut. We honed in on Aishti's signature orange gift box, making it the visual centerpiece of the campaign. The box becomes a symbol for the brand, turning into an object of luxury. Campaign images were used in newspapers, magazines, and billboards in the Middle East.”

You keep it in the car and hand it to the little beggar kids who in turn use it to get some loose change. Too bad cashiers won’t accept it if you don’t have 250LL.

Win, lose or scam, there’s only a few days left to vote(or not) for Jeita. The best vote for Jeita is to vote with your feet. Go see Jeita! It’s a beautiful drive through the mountains to reach the caves and hopefully some of our politicians noticed the poor and often trashy condition of the road and maybe, just maybe, someone will resolve that situation. That gets my vote!

Cinco de Mayo

2011-10-31T14:30:00.001+02:00

Finally after 6 months, what luck! Beirut Drive-by brings you a billboard with a side of restaurant review. Those Sombrero’s don’t make you Mariachi any more than your cheese powder covered chip-things make you Tex-Mex. We suffered through lunch at Fiesta Mexican Grill on Cinco de Mayo. If you’re craving some bad Mexican Food, this is the place for you.

Side Effects

Look At Me Now

2011-10-25T08:05:00.001+03:00

Too bad dressing rooms aren’t equipped with horizontal mirrors.

Wind Power

The wind machine used to create this look is not available for resale.

Shape Up

2011-10-23T18:51:00.002+03:00

Only one more day of the In Shape Fair. Anyone under 15 is not allowed. They should stay home and just occupy themselves with video games or watching TV or practice writing backwards on the foggy shower door.

Chicken Or The Egg?

2011-10-20T08:30:00.001+03:00

Was it the mustache? Or was it the raised hand? Or both that raised a few eyebrows? Najib over at Blog Baladi called this ad “Heil Hawa Chicken” One of their own delivery guys would have been better here.
