content de le savoir. on doit etre 2 millions a penser la meme chose, et il y a encore des cons qui se disputent la "aktarieh"
Great! You capture/portray the mood/feelings of many Lebanese with this!
dear nayla,
i stopped working in the advertising field more than 4 years ago. it made me sick since the first day, but i had to wait for a couple of years before finding other alternatives.
another thing about my reaction: try to get the last l'orient-littéraire (january 2007) and you'll see that i reacted since the beginning of the month to the first campaign, 16 days before the second.
it is strange that i keep saying i am REALLY against everybody, and some people keep seeing in my drawings personnal attacks against what they believe in (and not general attacks against everybody).
dear angry anarchist,
i thought we could begin a party together, there is surely a majority of people like us, but since we both seem not to like a lot of people, let's continue the fight as individuals :)
thanks for your comment.
first i wanna say gr8 work.. mazen...i luved ur work..
and .. no need to defend yourself or your designs to anyone.. you are expressing your beleives and wour ides in the posters as much as they used these slogans to their own needs we also are entitled to express and show what we think if it is now or even after 10 years..
again .. keep up the good work..
Mazen, you express the feelings of millions. I have just discovered your blog, and your incredible work. I wish I could be at your book signing, but unfortunately not. I have re-posted your I Love Life work, I hope you don't mind.

dear nayla,
i am fed up to hear this argument that it is too easy to be with nobody, while i can assure you that on the ground it is more difficult than anything else. you simply fight and argue with almost everybody.
i have no problem to be a coward (i am by the way a huge louis ferdinand celine fan), and i live fine with the idea of "not having the courage" to be with somebody.
it seems to me that you need more than courage to decide to be with somebody. it needs you to turn a part (a big part) of your brain off (for the benefint of a "cause" or another), and this, i am not ready to do and am surprised by the huge number of "educated" people and "intellectuals" who are doing so.
thank goodness someone else is fed up with this empty meaningless "i love life" nonsense! i imagine you've already seen this response: http://iheartcapitalism.wordpress.com/
j'aime beaucoup.
