The Counterfeit Gucci Revolution

The March 8 forces say that they are preparing for a large demonstration that would be the evil twin of that held in March 14, 2005. It will have slogans and graphics that will mirror the originals: (Below is my loose translation. Hover for the Arabic original)

Somewhere in the capital of Lebanon, final touches are being made to a graphic rendition of four people against whom political accusations will be made soon. Tens of thousands of copies will be printed for use in a future demonstration if the status quo remains the same.

Advertising agencies are designing the slogans that will be held in those demonstrations. Just like Satchi & Satchi did in February 16, 2005, other advertising agencies are now reliving the golden days of political messaging, but this time, the patrons are the forces of what are known as the opposition, or what the Future movement’s media calls the “coup plotters”.

“We want the truth” will be the most common rallying cry, and the four people are Marwan Hmadeh, Wissam el Hassan, Ashraf Rifi and Said Mirza, and there will be slogans demanding who incited, who financed, who executed, who planned and who sent the “false witnesses” to the STL

Yet another scare tactic by Hezbollah. At least be creative and come up with your own slogans.
