image062 For the last few years, every few months you could easily spot billboards in Lebanon, thanking a bunch of what we call in lebanese sister countries, for donating or helping Lebanon.

And everytime I see these I have the feeling that Lebanese are beggars and I am one of them.

But I always feel bad about it, why ? For many reasons, first because we are not beggars and I don’t want ever to have this feeling (if you want to call it “The Lebanese Proud”, I have no problem with it), second if anyone is helping Lebanon, they should not wait for a non-stop thank you on billboards, third if these thank you messages are for political objectives, well i am sure majority of Lebanese are really pissed off with it.

Whomever put us in this deep shit, should work hard to take us out of it, who is it? I don’t really care for the name and I don’t really care to know, maybe all of us are responsible, every and each one of us, maybe some more than others, but at the end we are all responsible.

If I disagree with these billboards, it does not mean I am with the ones politically on the other side, I am with myself, because I might be the only one who can help me.

You want to help Lebanon, great we appreciate it, do it low profile and you, the Lebanese who are managing these donations and help, again keep it low, no need to shout loudly.

And please, all politicians, get the hell out of my life.

Every morning on my way to the office I pass by the Saint Charles commercial center where you can also find the Lebanese Canadian bank, after getting out of the down town and start entering this part of Beirut in front of this building, every morning you have an unbelievable traffic jam because of the cars parked to the left and to the right of this given street and after being on a 5-6 lanes road you need to find your way inside a 1 lane street.

This Lebanese Canadian bank think they have the right to have their own law and rule when it comes to park cars in front of their branch, they even have in front of the bank branch and the opposite side of the road plenty of their own plates saying in Lebanese “private parkings” where basically I guess that this part of the road is for everybody, for every Lebanese citizen who lives in this country have the right to park there because this is owned by no one, except LEBANON. Keeping in mind that when you park cars in this spot, the traffic get worse and worse when entering the streets of Beirut.

But as usual and as it happens every day around here, you can have your own rules and regulations and no one will be asking any kind of question.

Welcome to Lebanon

The idea generated by Tameer has been designed by LED technology experts Dactronics and will be a powerful medium for advertising, messaging and art.
