Maxwell House great marketing campaign

May 19th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in rambling

I don’t know if you ever heard about Maxwell House, all I know is that I first heard about them was just this morning.

2 girls visited the office offering cups of Maxwell House American coffee and taking pictures of people drinking their beverage, a typical marketing campaign if you see what I mean.

One of the ladies reached my office and wanted to take a picture of me with the cup and I politely refused. So she looked at me and told me “It is OK sir, if you don’t want your picture taken you can still have your Nescafe !!!”

Talk about some brain wash ;)

Express yourself the Lebanese way

May 15th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in rambling

We, Lebanese, have a very special way of expressing our feelings. A way, I must admit, I haven’t seen or heard about in any other country in the world.

Some people dance, other cry, people write, laugh etc… But WE do it with guns !

I really wonder how come I’m 30 years old and never held a gun, I should be the shame of the country. Because here, whatever it is we just let out some gun shots.

  • In weddings we shoot
  • In funerals we shoot
  • A friend/parent/etc.. is back from a trip ? We shoot
  • Gotta a problem ? Shoot him and don’t worry about it anymore
  • Your political leader is on TV ? We shoot
  • The opponent political leader is on TV ? Shoot louder than the others are shooting
  • Had a problem with your wife ? Go to the balcony shoot out that stress
  • It is a BOY !!! Shoot
  • it is a GIRL !!! Doesn’t matter shoot anyway
  • You’re happy ? Shoot high in the sky !

At this point you might wonder what is the national sport here in Lebanon !

Well no it is not hunting it is eating ;)
