Bit7ib Libnan?
there was an ad campaign launched several months ago by the late lebanese minister of industry pierre gemayel .. the slogan was "bit7ib libnan? 7ib sina3to" .. which translates roughly into "do you love lebanon? then love its products" .. it was supposed to boost local industry by encouraging people to "buy lebanese" .. the other day i received an sms from a lebanese friend of mine who lives in beirut .. it goes "bit7ib libnan? 7ib infijarato" .. which translates into "do you love lebanon? then love its bombings" .. it's sad in a funny way .. or funny in a sad way .. whatever.
