Beirut/NTSC releases a series of posters masterminded by myself and executed by the incomparable (and I measure my words) Fady Chahine...
What happens when propaganda meets beverage advertising with a twist? Margarita Tatcher becomes an alcoholic drink, Chay Guevara becomes tea with Lemon and Robesbiere is a “beer to make your head flip” – here’s a fresh outlook on dictators and regimes.
In order of appearance here they are:
Ban Laden: Ban in Arabic means “coffee” so the promise of “Coffee Laden” is “with every sip a tower will flip”.
Chai Guevara: Chai is tea in Arabic, and apparently it “stimulates blood outburst”.
Lait Nine: Lait is French for milk, so apparently this particular brand “makes you immune to the system”.
Mangoebbels: A mango drink which gives you enough energy “to help you dominate the race”.
MaoZe Dong: Maoze means Banana, so for this banana juice we promise “it fits perfectly in your mouth and elsewhere”.
Margarita Tatcher: An alcoholic drink rich in “iron and privatized minerals”.
NiCOLAe Ceausescu: A soft drink unlike any other for the times when you “want to rule the world”.
Pepermintifada: Intifada 3.0 as it ought to be – comes inbuilt with corporate sponsors.
Red Book: Unlike its energy drink counterpart this one “clips your wings” (especially in front of tanks).
Robesbiere: A beer to make you “lose your head”.

Don;t you think you have to print these stuff!!! you can't leave this amazing collection on your blog! I'd love to see it printed ! :D
Good work as usual !
amazing...very clever!can be used as mobile phone wallpaper
One of the ideas is to exhibit them in my next exhibition (as artworks by Fady and myself). Also, I am toying around with the idea of opening the famous NTSC boutique... Who knows!
Love!
aleksonamission !!!!!!! nooo don't say that ! not wallpapers! this is ART!!! wallpapers ! c'mon !!! art is not meant to be a wallpaper it should be exhibited!
yalla waiting for your next exhibition :)
Anonymous!!!!!!!you are having a heart attack ! wallpapers are very expensive these days....and what about some Iphone covers...I'm not saying they are cheap...but they need to be spread with the proper medium.So hopefully yes we'll be bying our stuff from the NTSC boutique...
OK, I am SERIOUSLY looking for a product development manager or marketing manager... Creating all the stuff (including books and videos and all that) has set me back DEEP. I am considering a licensing deal, so if anyone is interested please contact me. This is a serious business offer.
