This is really pathetic! and it’s not the first nor the last time this happens!

"Mazout" skating - Thanks to Lea Heshme for sharing her picture!

Since most of us don’t have time to go ice skating, this truck is taking care to bring us live entertainment while driving our cars…

Thanks for Ibtissam Tohme for sharing this picture.

The sequel continues…another car accident AT THE SAME LOCATION, in less than 1 month… hopefully the 2 persons who were hit are still alive. But who the hell cares about the pedestrian bridge??? NOBODY as usual.

Refurbished

I think the concept itself is the one that is “Refurbished”… and surely NOT “renewed and reconditioned”…

I think this ad was meant to be for a car mechanic, but maybe “bel ghalat” they mistaken cars for people? Come on people, it’s not bad to use maybe just a little bit of your IQ before creating such hilarious advertising!!!

TOP (YELLOW): Dead body - BOTTOM (YELLOW): People don't learn!!

A minimum of 2 deadly accidents like this one happen each year at the SAME location, and they still don’t want to build a pedestrian bridge. Maybe they are waiting for more casualties to decide?
