During the demonstration today in Beirut, there were many signs with new logos of a the "second intifada" (I shudder to see the glorious Palestinian intifada name being tainted by the sectarian and financial war criminals of Lebanonesia). These were designed by Saatchi and Saatchi, and have been prepared in advance of (and in opposition to) the expected demonstrations by Hizbullah against the boo hoo hoo government ("democratically-elected" as Robert Fisk enthusiastically puts it--Fisk needs to know that the government in Lebanon is not "elected". It is nominated by the deputies, and officially designated by the president, and thus formed.). They were rolled out earlier, and they sounded as bland and silly as the slogans of the first round of Hummus revolution. Most are signed I love life, or Lebanon is the homeland of life. I should design new posters for the crowd. It will read: Get a life.
