#7  The TV campaign will include short clips of local thugs singing in chorus "Come back to Beruit, what's old is what's new ... militiamen and carbombs, maybe kidnapping for you ... so stay in Beruit, perhaps blinded in chains ... spending your captivity, slowly losing your brains."

#6  Come to Beirut !

Watch rabid foam ridden madmen perform extreme sports
Join in on the Marchs . A lovely communal event
Enjoy more rabid foam ridden madmen indulging in ranting from the early hours
Beirut is a lively city , with much to do for all .
And the food is GREAT !

Come to us , ohh westerners , and if you are lucky , one of our many vigilant groups may come and whisk you away to an undisclosed location and hold you against your will . (only applies during the summer season , book in advance)

#4  GFL, Beirut.

You'd be more likely to lure my tourist dollars if you'd slash the throats of the Hizbollah trash camping in your country.

But that's just me.
