7aram! I feel so bad for this guy! stop making fun of him!
OMG .. Me kant beleeev ths.
Than you.
i sink you made my day… hahaa
Some body call Super Hanidi to rescue him from his miserable english
No I tke that back he probably would make it worse ..lol đ
Reporter to Mr Hanidi..
Why are you here?
Hanidi to reporter
Eeeisz I am zee here to saveahhh thez suri and ahhhh to teachaa himahh somb of ahh zeee very good engalish no..yes..
For a cook & a driver I think he did pretty good.
If I was the one to first see this CV, I would have corrected it and sent it back to him, rather than passing it around for a cheap laugh.
Now when a college graduate makes these mistakes, while using MS Office, then it is funny.
Peace
I’m going to be hated for this but I don’t really care:
Real, or not real the reaction quite a few gave is disturbing. It’s just sad how you decide to laugh at someone’s English, not everyone is fortunate enough to end up with families that can afford to send them to school. All I can say is good for him trying to make a living and not just giving up and begging people for money.
At the very least the name, number and picture should have been omitted.
il 9ara7a
THAN YOU SO MUCH
hahaha
Come on! This is not funny. It’s a quite tasteless to be honest. For a university graduate, your English grammar isnât that perfect, you knowâŚ
ok now u guys have gone and made me feel terrible ….
@ Palforce
As a manager in my company I do fix resumes of staff before forwarding it for other positions and you are right the mistakes that come from college grads are just as bad… Do I laugh as I correct them? Yes I do .. I am only human after all.
@ Shoxin
I guess if it were me, I too would have omitted the personal details like the photograph and telephone number.. But you have to admit I am sure before you felt all terible; I am sure you must have smiled once đ
“Humor is good for the soul and light of heart is he who is full of it”
hehehe. does he drive a big shoe which under is a locomotive???
sense of humor people. get it.
English – 25%. lol.
lol .. in Dubai u see more đ
LOL!!!!
Nice one
7aram Langwesh…
Now, wouldnt it be hilarious if the guy finds out that Mark has posted his CV mockingly online,and it turns out the guy is insane. He plots his revenge and starts to stalk Mark.Monitors his movements.Finds out where he lives. Kidnaps Geo. Runs away with him to the remote border areas. Decides he doesnt want money for Geo. Elopes with Geo back to Syria where interpol cant get him. They live happily ever after đ
Thinking positive, he is brave because he wrote, he is smart he succeeded to grab our attention
I would hire him to see what I can get out of him.
Are you allowed to work on a visitor visa over there?
fake
yeah its fake
and Palforce .. ur right
or he just posted it because he’s syrian.. ?
Hellow

May be one day some one laughed at him now will wish to work for him or his sons? (for sake of courtesy, let’s say not as a driver)
would it be then funny ………or fare? Didn’t we all heard such stories
have to say “sa7 elsanakom” to BitterSweet, miss ghesquiere and the others who reminded us what is this life is about
Aww come on! That ain’t cool. He’s just trying to make something out of his life- don’t mock his attempt đ
English 25%!!! at least he is being honest to you.. i think you should hire him lol
u know…at least he tried!
100% thumbs up to him
Can’t believe you put this up here and ridicule someone like this. Tasteless. Respect to him for trying to make something better of his life.
People get a sense of humor! Seriously. If Bye Bye London was released today it would fail because of this attitude.
thats cheap and disgraceful to make fun of him walla 7aram
at least he tried
but i guess its FAKE ,,in each line there is a funny thing definitely its fake
What the hell is wrong with people these days?
Always trying to be politically correct.. No one gives a shit, not even this Syrian.
poor guy….but atleast he tried his best.
All of you are like sheep when Mark posts anything. This is not
funny at all. Actually I find it demeaning to post his CV (and contact no.) on a blog. disgraceful. Please Mark, don’t compare stupid posts like this CV to a classic like Bye Bye London.
hahahaha hey people it’s funny .. dont make it DRAMATIC……
everybody, what do you feel if your SUPERVISER english is this BAD ???? (by the way he was SYRIAN)
HE IS YOUR BOSS !!!!!
ok i laughed then felt bad for the guy(even though i think its a def. fake) but this begs the question.. if his english really is 25% why not just apply in arabic? unless it was some stupid requirement to apply only in english(coz then i take this back lol)…
i know, i know i overthink simple shit lol…
Jeebus. what’s up with everyone?
This obviously is fake and if its not fake, well, people have laughed at worse things. Do you see Indians going crazy over the stereotypical attitude of Apu on the Simpsons? Do you see disabled people going mad over how Joe is sometimes treated on Family Guy? Did people from Kazakhstan declare war on the UK because of Borat? No! They fucking laughed at Borat like we all did, so get off your damn pedestals and get a damn sense of humor, its not cool to act all stuck up and bitchy.
i liek chickens?
u ppl r so fuckin lame! i mean ok it might b funy for da 1st sec but then its quite annoyin to c dis number of comments mockin da poor guy i bet dat da parents of half da ppl here speacks worse english dan dis guy!!!
get a life!!!!!!
LOSERS!!
and btw (im LEBANESE)!!!
and mark i wana c u peak arabic!!! plus if we shud go get a sense of humor! u shud get a sense of humanity!cause i dont think u got one!
The Syrians stopped the civil war in ur contry, and protected u for more than 35 years and this how u return the favor.. by making fun of them…shame on u Mark
Patrick – nothing bitchy or stuck up about thinking there are just better things to laugh at. Sounds like you are the one getting on your high horse!
To the Blogger and to Patrick (49)
%0 comments to find 1 or 2 ti say what is obvious: it’s a fake. What i find really sad, because I used to like this blog, and never bothered about the nationality of the bloggers, is the fact that the fake thing portrays a ‘syrian’. there is one huge difference between Borat and Apu, and this hiedeously racially motivated stereotype: while it might say something about the little knowledge in Siria, It talks crystal clear about the smartass racist attitude of some Lebanese people thinking their are another chosen people, discending from the Phoenicians or forgotten by some crusader prince, and being ashamed that there look, talk, eat, and live and die like other arabs of the Levant. I have toured the world but yet have to see a more miserable people than these ‘Mountain’ or Junieh Lebanese in eternal D
denial, Gibran Khalil would disown them.
You know all about what talking, it’s not an isolated stereotype some lebanese media (Lbc…) try to build about syrians. But they like the Zohan of course…
There are millions of things to laugh at, but just because you don’t find this humorous doesn’t mean that we’re assholes, just move on, there’s no need to get worked up about it. I don’t see how I’m getting on a high horse when I’m just saying that people shouldn’t take everything seriously.
Yo: The reason I compared it to bye bye london is because we spend half the time laughing at him trying to speak english, which is the same case here, laughing at this guys english.
Adrenaline: seriously, i mean seriously?
ali: My arabic is worse than this guys english and a lot of people find it funny and not because they’re racist or because I am Lebanese or anything of that sort but because my arabic is just that funny sometimes.
For people like Adrenaline who are turning this into a Lebanese vs Syria conflict get a life. Not everything has to be a war. Aren’t we over that already, aren’t the Syrian’s out of Lebanon and the whole conflict is behind us?
If the above CV said Lebanese, or Kuwaiti or Egyptian it would have still been as funny. I can imagine only if it said American or British it would have been even funnier.
wow. lol.
Seriously.
This isn’t funny cause it says “Syrian”, its funny because of what it says. I could care less about the politics of my country and its neighbors, not everything needs to be related to politics.
Seriously, how can you not find “English – 25%” funny?
THIS MY BROTHERS CV I AM FERY OVENDED @ BAD CUMMONTS FCUK U MARK CLOSE THIS KNOW OR I WHILL COMPLANE TO FAST TELECOMS TO CANCEL UR SITE 90%
It woulf be lovely If we were not judged by people according to our nationality. But in real world there are some sensibilities among neighbouring people that cannot be ignored.
To Crack a joke about ‘niggers’ you better be a black man, and while jews are allowed to make fun about fellow jews, a german doing that would be just crucified-
So when you write you are Lebanese, post such a cv (which actually would be funny if it just avoided to put a nationality label in this Joe Doe) and then even make sure to answer to your very first commenter who dare to say it’s a spoof “I think it’s real” then some suspects can be harboured by people like me who have witnessed several episodes of ‘lebanese’ racism against syrians in the recent years.
So, Mark, if you managed to bring up this hail of comments just because you actually knew nothing about recent lebanese-syrian problems and sensibilities, then I would advise you to be more informed about arab issues or just avoid them at all, and keep going with your excellent restaurant reviews, which btw i find really useful
thanks and no beef
If you are a kuwaitie who studied aboard and travels to london every year and your English is semi perfect….and making fun of this guy , you should know that they are making fun of YOU too : )
5aleji rakiebli jamal labes fos6an abiad o 7a6e6li e’elam eb jeboo ya3ni business men , ea *&#*&@ manzarak <<<<—- the same guys who are making fun of this poor guy , are saying those things about you …. ya KooKoo .
At least he has a CV đ
APhdholdingSyrian: I am up to date on the recent Lebanese Syrians problems but I don’t see how the military build up along the Syrian borders is related in any way to this CV.
Personally i find this funny!! There is high possibility this is fake…..But Mark having the most read blog in kuwait, i think it comes with a “little” responsibility. Ofcourse Family Guy/Simpsons makes fun of people stereotypes, but thats whats the shows are about really….making people laugh…if you don’t like it, you can choose not to tune in.
Otherwise, your Blog now is very close to being a very popular media source in kuwait, just like the newspapers and tv channels, you said it yourself in a previous blog entry that 248am.com is in the top 100 websites accessed from kuwait along with google and amazon, and that your blog was featured in books and magazines.
Its totally up to you ofcourse what you write in your blog, but i have a feeling that you will lose alot of your readers, by publishing entries like this..
Anyways as i said am from the people who find this funny with some reservations ofcourse on being published on a popular blog…
ohh crap.. im startign to feel bad now.. i see the intentions were just to get a laugh.. lighten up ppl.. lets not read too much into this…. his english is bad.. lol.. let it go.. nothing else there …dont read too much in between those lines ….
F4P: I highly doubt I am going to lose a lot of readers by publishing funny posts but I might lose the five people who found this post offensive but they shouldn’t be reading this blog in the first place so it really evens out for the better.
just wanted to point things out, on how certain people think……keep the entries coming in =D
as a Kuwaiti living in Canada for the past 8 years Ive come to respect your blog and website as THE only reliable website of its kind, that is up to date with whats “new”. Ive seen all sorts of funny video clips and great reviews. the website overall is an apparent success, and i commend you on your efforts.
This post however, is merely confirmation of your lack of decency as well as basic respect of ones privacy. You have not only lost my respect, but the respect of many of my peers who are regulars on your site. Its easy for Mr “My arabic is worse than this guys english” to laugh at this guys expensive, when he himself is Arabic. I would have expected such crude and immature humor from a 10th grade student at UAS but not someone of your stature.
Yes.. Yes.. i know, its funny! lighten up! . sure i would have gladly, but his full details are up, without an attempt at even censoring out his number or name. i find that to be pathetic.
I assure you most of your readers that follow your blogs here feel the same way, and along with myself they will no longer be regulars on your site.
Thank you for showing us your true colors Mark.
PS:
Not sure if this is true but..
I heard that when a thread on the forums appeared with your real name in it you freaked out and deleted it. I’m sure you didn’t feel comfortable with your personal information being spread like that.
Yes, if it’s a fake, then maybe it’s worth a bit of a giggle to some people. But the point here is that Mark posted this with the idea in mind that it is REAL (see his comment number 2). When you are pretty sure something is real, posting it with a name, phone number, and photo for everyone to mock and ridicule is unethical, obnoxious, and downright mean. And as many people here have mentioned, Mark, for a supposedly American-educated college graduate, your English is hardly something to boast about! This guy – and even if it’s fake, then all the other people out there with poor English skills trying to make an honest living – is obviously not from a privileged background that would allow him to receive the best education available that money could buy – which you did, so what’s your excuse? As a native English speaker, I often CRINGE at your grammar and spelling. And while we’re on the subject of your grammar Mark (you didn’t use it in this post but you often do, and it’s especially cringe-worthy): it’s “LET alone” not “YET alone.” There, got that off my chest!
Oh this is nothing dude. My spelling sucks and this is with a spell checker so you can only imagine how it is without! I used to have a big problem with then and than but luckily thats been fixed đ Will remember the let/yet thing the next time!
Just updated the image and censored the guys name and picture just in case it IS real.
wow finally, some decency. After getting bashed by your own blog, you finally get up and do what you should have done in the first place? not posting personal information? does it really take a wave of angered readers for there to be decency?
and you call yourself a professional?
Oh and the comments by James. Couldn’t agree anymore
So Mark your Arabic is terrible, your English spelling “sucks” and your an American graduate.. your inability to be truly fluent in ANY language (according to your responses) in my opinion shows that the true joke is on YOU.
that’s right “dude”.
I suggest those who find this post insulting or not funny to call the guy and hire him … mich 7aram ?? wou at least he tried ??
You guys r insulting him more by saying 7aram .. you are denying the fact that he s a total loser and a dumb ass ..
I just hope all those syrians on the borders are as smart as he is … we d get their cvs hire them as mercenaries and ask them to monitor the borders from our side and fight the Syrians ..
But For The Grace Of God, There Go You!
SHAME!
Disgraceful: Have you actually read any of the comments above? I think there were only 2 readers out of the 70 who actually highlighted the fact that this information might be real and I only realized it after Used2RespectThisBlod post.
lol @ Disgraceful.
funny.
Gents,
While I also find the joke distatestful, I believe that we should give Mark a break.
For someone who is clearly more interested in sharing creative topics with the rest of us, he certainly does not seek to publish controversial issues and has already clarified his position on the matter.
LOL!!! Hilarious !!!!!!
I dont think about humor as good or bad … its just humor .. gives a tickle in your belly and makes you think. With blogging, things have gotten so spontaneous, I dont think Mark would have looked so closely at the nationality. So ppl lets get a life … and let humor be humor.The point to take home is ” If you cant write English or Arabic .. Don’t try !!!”
Natives will take it as a joke and have a little laugh.
So Chill out everybody.
I’m laughing more at the “APhdholdingSyrian” username. Bet u walk around with the phd hanging around your neck in flava flav style and for fucks sake ppl, this blog being racist and disgraceful?? well maybe against certain shawerma places but come on, learn to laugh a little. a sense of humor does’nt hurt anybody.
lol i cant believe half the people didnt find it funny!
its EPIC i tell you.
Did it really take 80 something comments to ring a bell? Even though there might not be many comments explicitly suggesting TO YOU that this “c.v” might be real (this c.v actually belongs to someone who is looking for a job), I can hardly imagine this question didn’t cross your mind before posting it: Is this c.v real or not?
By the way, why is the guyâs telephone number still visible? If you were serious with your efforts, you would have censored the telephone number too âwhether this c.v is real or not real. Or do you need a specific mention of that too????
Truly disappointed, as this post has unveiled your unprofessional, irresponsible and shallow side.
@ Used2RespectThisBlod’s and @ Disgracefulâs : I fully support your comments.
Bittersweet: Thank you. Im glad someone agrees with what im saying.
PS: Disgraceful is (or shall i say was) a blog reader living in my city.
Been following Marks work since the Miskan project and not once did i take offense to anything hes posted.
Alea iacta est..
it’s actually good to see some people standing up for what they believe in, and in such strong responses but I think you guys made ur point (& I support it), so RELAX guys!
And it was a bit much talking about nationalities, that was too much reading into the post, it’s like u guys are paranoid and want to bring racism into the discussion for no appearent reason
Jesus Christ mark, you have some pretty cunty readers. No wonder u have to edit my posts so much.
Fuckin A. everybody’s Dr. Phil these days.
It’s just so pathetic to see how the so called literates and civilized people of our society try to mock people who’s trying to earn some bread for their families.
everyone needs to calm down, i got this as a forward weeks before mark even posted this online. this is clearly a joke cv.
Holla: Hopefully because of this post they stop coming back. I don’t need those kind of readers here.
If u ppl have a problem with the posts than dont come on this blog!
Mark, your post was irresponsible because you didn’t think to remove his personal details. It is all very well to say you don’t want us coming back to your blog but that is because you can’t quite admit you did the wrong thing to include all his personal details. Let’s hope no one decides to stick one of your texts on here with all its spelling mistakes just for a giggle – along with all your personal details – how funny would that be – NOT!!
Mark, i do wanna read your blog because i love it. I just think you got it wrong this time and should just pull the man’s CV or just get rid of his photo, name and tel no.
I didnt get anything wrong. I think this is one of the most hilarious Engrish posts i have ever posted and because five of you dont have a sense of humor doesn’t mean the post was a mistake, just means you five are deranged. As you can see from the comments above you guys have been ridiculed by other users. I think you should just stop coming here and instead go to boycottzohan.com or something.
Tried to call the number, it did not work its a wrong number I think. Code to Syria is +963. I tried +9630509… and +963509 I also looked up city codes of Syria and 05 is not an existing one.
Way to go Mark, with all ur stupid responses, I guess u wrote them when ur not in ur greatest mind.
You actually made this post even worse than it is by responding, I would guess if you kept quite, or at least gave a diplomatic answer it would have been better than just dismissing everyone’s responses, telling anyone that doesn’t agree with you not to come back to this blog. and here I thought blogs are open to discussion and other people’s opinions, not to dismiss the ones you don’t agree with
Don’t you know that what makes this blog great is the people that read it, Great unread reviews & posts are not that great, believe me!!
the guys just trying to make a life for himself, maybe he is so desprate.
i think the putting the cv is ok but not picture and tel thats not cool.
i mean if you wanna get laughs just read local signs in kuwait “taxi fo rint”
but the guy wants to work, unlike some people in kuwait. Bless him
“Itâs just so pathetic to see how the so called literates and civilized people of our society try to mock people whoâs trying to earn some bread for their families.”
I think this guy should win the Noble Peace prize.
I bet if the nashunatly said something like Mexican or Israeli, you guys wouldn’t give two shits, but just because it says “Syrian” you automatically assume there’s some political intentions behind this post. Fuck off, not everything is related to politics.
I agree with Mark, I really hope you guys don’t come back to this blog, because you’re totally ruining the fun of all this. I hope you guys lock yourselves up in your rooms without any television, internet, or any sort of free media, you’ll be fucking up everyone’s good time.
Mark, thanks for that response. It is clear you only associate yourself with those who have the same opinion as you. Your blog is only what the readers make it. Because we don’t share your humour – we are deranged? So anyone who doesn’t agree with you is deranged? Remember a few weeks back your wife didn’t like some trainers or something – she must be deranged too!? Clearly you are always right and heaven forbid the day someone disagrees with you. Let us hope this guy didn’t receive lots of rude phone calls taking the p**s. He really doesn’t deserve it – but hey as long as you got your little chuckle – that’s all that matters.
Patrick – what an exciting life you have to think that is ‘everyone’s good time’. You should get out more
Britchick:
Since you’re having so much trouble figuring this out for yourself. This cv is fake.
You know, just wanted to point that out to you, since obviously you’re having a hard time with figuring it out for yourself and you care SO much for this poor soul /sarcasm.
Patrick get out of Marks’ ass
Britchick:
Yeah I guess I should, but in the meantime, why don’t you laugh at something, I think Borat is on tv… oh wait nevermind. You don’t want to watch that, its funny!
Patrick this issue is not about Borat and u know it. I am not accusing mark of being a racist as i don’t know him but i think posting that CV was unfair to the guy because it included all his details. That’s not humour!
Britchick, its fake. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Seriously.
Look Patrick – there is a principle here. Mark posted that thinking it was real. Now i told you once… get out of that dark place!
A matter of principle? Woo! lol. Get a life Britchick. I’m outta here.
You know what, I think this is one of the most successful posts by measure of the comments you got on it. Keep it up, sometimes a bit controversy is what is needed these days. Take a look at Howard Stern, he doesn’t give a rats ass about others and that draws people in.
Britchick you know you contradicted yourself right? Its ok for you to come in here and tell me what I should post or not post but its not ok for me to tell you that I post what I want here and if you don’t like it don’t read my blog.
This is a personal blog and if I think something is funny and worth posting I do it. Just because this blog has become popular doesn’t mean I should start censoring myself or filtering out stuff which might be offensive to 2 people. This is also not the first time I post a funny post or an Engrish post but yet suddenly because I am Lebanese and this CV is for a Syrian it turns into an epic battle and race and politics suddenly get involved. Come on!
Mark funny you contradicted yourself by telling those of us who do not agree with you to keep off this site. That is censorship. I don’t think you should censor stuff but you shouldn’t write someone’s personal details on your blog. I know you wouldn’t like it. That is my issue. It seems you are finding it difficult to grasp that concept.
And Mark i read whatever i like – thanks very much. Just as you think it is ok to post what you like. Sounds like you are someone who is so wrapped up in hearing his own voice. You’re not worth it really. Wish you a good life and hope no one decides share your personal details with the world.
yeah I told you specifically to stop coming here if you don’t like what you read. thats not called censorship thats called enlightenment. you don’t like a magazine you dont buy it. you don’t like a blog you stop checking it. see how life works?
Just because I like to post what I want on my blog doesn’t mean I am someone who is wrapped up in hearing my own voice. It just means this is my blog and I post what I want like every other fucking blogger in the world. Thats what a blog is if you don’t believe me check here: https://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=blog
Ok that says it all. Now i understan. This blog is only for those who agree with Mark. If you are one of his cronies that listens to everything he says then you are welcome. Real sign of weakness, Mark.
Maybe you should put your personal details on here if you really think it is ok. What is your tel no? What about your DOB? Can we get a mug shot too? No … i thought as much but it is ok to do this about Wassim because he is a joke to you.
If you read what i said, i didn’t say i didn’t like your blog [quite the opposite until now that i have discovered we have to be your cronies]. I merely think your post was bad taste and you should retract the man’s personal details before you ridicule him. At the end of the day yes you can do what you like but we all have to be accountable for the things we do and say as adults. Ok, so maybe you are still in high school?
I think you don’t understand, let me see if I can make this clearer.
Say you bought a magazine, lets say FHM. You brought it home, you flipped through it and you didn’t like the articles what do you do? Do you:
a) Email FHM tell them their magazine sucks and that since you like cooking they should turn it to a cooking magazine
b) Next time you just don’t buy FHM and buy another magazine
Now what you did here is choose option (a) but you need to understand that its not up to you what I post or not post here and that I don’t have to make any changes to please you. The correct answer to the question above is (b). If you don’t like a magazine you don’t buy it the second time. Same goes with this blog, if you don’t like what you read just don’t read it again.
I really can’t explain it in any other way. I hope you now have a better idea of what my whole argument above is.
Also, just in case you missed out on the dozen or so posts above from other readers who were trying to explain this to you but the CV above turned out to be a fake. A FAKE. Do you know what that means? It means not real, as in made up.
I know a school that need a couple of teachers- if he has a pulse I’m sure they would employ him.
I just want to point out for the record that I am NOT the same Patrick commenting above. My only comment was #98 above. The Patrick posting without a link to his name is a different person.
Sunny (84) Iâm laughing more at the âAPhdholdingSyrianâ username. Bet u walk around with the phd hanging around your neck in flava flav style and for fucks sake ppl, this blog being racist and disgraceful?? well maybe against certain shawerma places but come on, learn to laugh a little. a sense of humor doesânt hurt anybody.
Is it so hard to understand that I chose that nickname to ‘make a point’: I would not dream of telling people what studies I did or boast that, that would be quite nerdish. But in this case it looked OK to me just to stress that you can’t generalize: while we all concede syrians are not the most fluent people on earth in English, we are not all that ignorant as some of us IF PROVOKED are ready to remind other people about it. And at least we still put an effort into preserving our beautiful arab language and are not accustomed to boast how our English or French got better than our ancestors language.
Sense of humour is a relative concept, maybe I may lack it. I guess syrians are still stuck to this stupid old-fashioned sense of honour while refusing to share our neighbours’ big sense of humour.
P.S. Braggers in my country would be smart enough to avoid to do that in shawarma places (I imagine the reaction: mashallah, a’andak pee ache deee kamaaan,, mabruuk khayyoo, sharraft al-hara! Zakkirni, khayyo, hiyye model abu 6 aw abu 8 cilinder?).
If in your place the learned guy brags in shawarma places, where do the guys showing off their sports car go, do they play loud hip hop music and tour the falafel stands? Now that’s a scene the Zohan movie guys should have considered!
WHY IS EVERYBODY SO SERIOUS?
Is this Dr.Phil/Oprah day or something?
You people are making my fucking cats cry.
;_;
and ill leave you guys with one note.
Teh internetz…..serious business.
Ok. This is my last post, your don’t stay to long when the owner of the place tells you to kindly get lost. I wrote enough and thanks for the debate, it’s always healthy to keeping our brains working.
Just before leaving I would like to give the floor to Mark’s own words.
Mark, I tried to belive you when you said how unbiased you feel towards syrian people and that it was just by chance that you got that fake CV file from the Lebanese Forces website. I thought maybe you were confused when you added that that syrian untermenschen stuff was true and credible.
To give you that chance I took the liberty of typing ‘syrians’ in the search engine of this blog to find a confirmation that syrians are for you like anybody else and politics does not enter in your humourous lifestyle blog.
I found the answer to my doubts, here it is. Mark, I hope you won’t censor it. Any answer is Ok to me, and BTW, you are not under process and I won’t obsess you and criticize you further.
Actually i think I already exceeded, but I want to make you understand that with big popularity comes some responsibility, which ryhmes with accountability. And also to remind you that blogs have long memories.
The following text was posted by Mark in October 2005.
“Top ten reasons why Syria didnât kill Hariri
10. Cell phones are too advanced for syrians to use
9. The instructions on the bomb manual were not written upside down
8. Abu Addas was busy hiding his suicide tape in a tree and forgot to drive the truck
7. Lahoud had the vibrating phone stuck up his @$$ and couldnât give the go ahead.
6. The Mourabitoun were too happy celebrating having been resurrected from syriaâs junkyard of non existent militias to remember what it was they were supposed to do.
5. Al A7bash were too busy celebrating the sale of 10 cell phone lines that they missed the boat too
4. Ghazi Kenaan was practicing shooting himself in the back accidentally threw himself out a window while tied to a chair. Luckily he had given an interview minutes before absolving syria.
3. Bashar said on tv that he didnât do it and thatâs not the kind of person he is. What more proof of innocence could anyone want?
2.Syria âDoesnât have that type of systemâ of assasinations, Kamal, Bachir, Renee, Hobeika, Dany, Sadr, Irani, Khaled, etc are all coincidences.

Mark: would n’t it have been easier to tell us: hey, I’m a free man, it’s my blog, I don’t pretend to be a swiss guy free of the ‘middle eastern’ disease of harbouring racist or political prejudices. I’m a proud Lebanese Maronite who has a clear cut sympathy for Kataeb and/or LF, i think they are good guys, and that their enemies are bad guys, because the helped the Syrians who invaded and occupied my country and did not leave us to keep living in love and harmony as we always used to do before those backward syrians woke up a day in 1976 and came to our place for no clear reason when we had spent the few months before their arrival really enjoying ourselves in our typical, very european, almost French, style. I can laugh at a movie blatantly portraying my beautiful country as a terrori.st shithole made by people who bombed it last time just 2 years ago, but won’t forgive the syrians. They their heavy accents and rude ways they remind me that we used to be an arab nation, for a while. Pity the Nation.
Adieu and, out of my sarcasm, keep going with the blog, which really IS good and one of the best about Kuwait
Please take your anti-syria conspiracy with you on the way out. This post was a fucking harmless joke if you didn’t see that then you missed out. If you want to copy paste what I’ve previously written about Syria (oh what a surprise it was another humorous post) you should do it properly. Here are two other links where I talk about Syria:
Kinda destroys your conspiracy theory that I am anti-syrian doesn’t it?
You know what.. I dont even find that funny! The poor guy is looking for work and we’re all laughing at his spelling? English is not his first language I’ve seen some large signs outside of stores with spelling that is just shocking!
I just don’t see the humour in it.
@ Mark: I really can’t believe what I’m reading! Are you summoning those who didn’t appreciate your oh so great sense of humour not to visit your blog any longer? Am I the only one who is shocked to read this? So, Instead of showing some common sense and admitting posting this c.v was fully wrong, you summon those who have other opinions not to visit your blog anymore? This is truly the behaviour of a spoiled little child, which is not willing to admit his faults. I find that very very immature to be honest.
I remember a while ago, in your blog there was a request of a guy who was interested in a position in Marketing. He asked you whether your company has any vacant positions and you answered him to send you his c.v. I wonder where that poor guyâs c.v, including his personal detail, have ended.
please don’t put words in my mouth. Of course I don’t have a problem with people who have different opinions than mine. Is this your first time here because if you’ve been here for more than a week you would know that. What I do have a problem with is people who come in here and dictate to me what I can or can’t post and expect me to cater to them like a Mcdonalds employee.
Secondly if you actually read the post you would know that this guy didn’t email me his cv, it’s been circulating the Internet via forwards.
Anyway I am locking this post up because I am really really tired of repeating myself over and over to people like u who don’t bother reading and just post stupidly.
125 replies on “Hellow, I am a CV”
No way đ That’s got to be a spoof đ
I think its real, you should see the CV’s I get.
omg I want to see the face of the employer
The source is a Lebanese blog, we all know how much the Lebanese Forces Party like Syrians.
Try making fun of Egyptians….its gona much more interesting and u’ll get more comments than making fun of a poor guy trying to make a living.
well at least he knows ‘sweming’ đ
lol, Mark, why don’t you share those interesting CV’s you get? Possibly get few laughs.
well "Hellow" there.
Visat Veza?
Classic. Purely classic.
very hilarious! LMFAO!
wow this so syrian $tYleS lol.
đ ahaha lol, i’m dying to “tell him” awanis 7ali shway
…..
7aram! I feel so bad for this guy! stop making fun of him!
OMG .. Me kant beleeev ths.
Than you.
i sink you made my day… hahaa
Some body call Super Hanidi to rescue him from his miserable english
No I tke that back he probably would make it worse ..lol đ
Reporter to Mr Hanidi..
Why are you here?
Hanidi to reporter
Eeeisz I am zee here to saveahhh thez suri and ahhhh to teachaa himahh somb of ahh zeee very good engalish no..yes..
For a cook & a driver I think he did pretty good.
If I was the one to first see this CV, I would have corrected it and sent it back to him, rather than passing it around for a cheap laugh.
Now when a college graduate makes these mistakes, while using MS Office, then it is funny.
Peace
I’m going to be hated for this but I don’t really care:
Real, or not real the reaction quite a few gave is disturbing. It’s just sad how you decide to laugh at someone’s English, not everyone is fortunate enough to end up with families that can afford to send them to school. All I can say is good for him trying to make a living and not just giving up and begging people for money.
At the very least the name, number and picture should have been omitted.
il 9ara7a
THAN YOU SO MUCH
hahaha
Come on! This is not funny. It’s a quite tasteless to be honest. For a university graduate, your English grammar isnât that perfect, you knowâŚ
ok now u guys have gone and made me feel terrible ….
@ Palforce
As a manager in my company I do fix resumes of staff before forwarding it for other positions and you are right the mistakes that come from college grads are just as bad… Do I laugh as I correct them? Yes I do .. I am only human after all.
@ Shoxin
I guess if it were me, I too would have omitted the personal details like the photograph and telephone number.. But you have to admit I am sure before you felt all terible; I am sure you must have smiled once đ
“Humor is good for the soul and light of heart is he who is full of it”
hehehe. does he drive a big shoe which under is a locomotive???
sense of humor people. get it.
English – 25%. lol.
lol .. in Dubai u see more đ
LOL!!!!
Nice one
7aram Langwesh…
Now, wouldnt it be hilarious if the guy finds out that Mark has posted his CV mockingly online,and it turns out the guy is insane. He plots his revenge and starts to stalk Mark.Monitors his movements.Finds out where he lives. Kidnaps Geo. Runs away with him to the remote border areas. Decides he doesnt want money for Geo. Elopes with Geo back to Syria where interpol cant get him. They live happily ever after đ
Thinking positive, he is brave because he wrote, he is smart he succeeded to grab our attention
I would hire him to see what I can get out of him.
Are you allowed to work on a visitor visa over there?
fake
yeah its fake
and Palforce .. ur right
or he just posted it because he’s syrian.. ?
Hellow
lol i speak london very best

May be one day some one laughed at him now will wish to work for him or his sons? (for sake of courtesy, let’s say not as a driver)
would it be then funny ………or fare? Didn’t we all heard such stories
have to say “sa7 elsanakom” to BitterSweet, miss ghesquiere and the others who reminded us what is this life is about
Aww come on! That ain’t cool. He’s just trying to make something out of his life- don’t mock his attempt đ
English 25%!!! at least he is being honest to you.. i think you should hire him lol
u know…at least he tried!
100% thumbs up to him
Can’t believe you put this up here and ridicule someone like this. Tasteless. Respect to him for trying to make something better of his life.
People get a sense of humor! Seriously. If Bye Bye London was released today it would fail because of this attitude.
thats cheap and disgraceful to make fun of him walla 7aram
at least he tried
but i guess its FAKE ,,in each line there is a funny thing definitely its fake
What the hell is wrong with people these days?
Always trying to be politically correct.. No one gives a shit, not even this Syrian.
poor guy….but atleast he tried his best.
All of you are like sheep when Mark posts anything. This is not
funny at all. Actually I find it demeaning to post his CV (and contact no.) on a blog. disgraceful. Please Mark, don’t compare stupid posts like this CV to a classic like Bye Bye London.
hahahaha hey people it’s funny .. dont make it DRAMATIC……
everybody, what do you feel if your SUPERVISER english is this BAD ???? (by the way he was SYRIAN)
HE IS YOUR BOSS !!!!!
ok i laughed then felt bad for the guy(even though i think its a def. fake) but this begs the question.. if his english really is 25% why not just apply in arabic? unless it was some stupid requirement to apply only in english(coz then i take this back lol)…
i know, i know i overthink simple shit lol…
Jeebus. what’s up with everyone?
This obviously is fake and if its not fake, well, people have laughed at worse things. Do you see Indians going crazy over the stereotypical attitude of Apu on the Simpsons? Do you see disabled people going mad over how Joe is sometimes treated on Family Guy? Did people from Kazakhstan declare war on the UK because of Borat? No! They fucking laughed at Borat like we all did, so get off your damn pedestals and get a damn sense of humor, its not cool to act all stuck up and bitchy.
i liek chickens?
u ppl r so fuckin lame! i mean ok it might b funy for da 1st sec but then its quite annoyin to c dis number of comments mockin da poor guy i bet dat da parents of half da ppl here speacks worse english dan dis guy!!!
get a life!!!!!!
LOSERS!!
and btw (im LEBANESE)!!!
and mark i wana c u peak arabic!!! plus if we shud go get a sense of humor! u shud get a sense of humanity!cause i dont think u got one!
The Syrians stopped the civil war in ur contry, and protected u for more than 35 years and this how u return the favor.. by making fun of them…shame on u Mark
Patrick – nothing bitchy or stuck up about thinking there are just better things to laugh at. Sounds like you are the one getting on your high horse!
To the Blogger and to Patrick (49)
%0 comments to find 1 or 2 ti say what is obvious: it’s a fake. What i find really sad, because I used to like this blog, and never bothered about the nationality of the bloggers, is the fact that the fake thing portrays a ‘syrian’. there is one huge difference between Borat and Apu, and this hiedeously racially motivated stereotype: while it might say something about the little knowledge in Siria, It talks crystal clear about the smartass racist attitude of some Lebanese people thinking their are another chosen people, discending from the Phoenicians or forgotten by some crusader prince, and being ashamed that there look, talk, eat, and live and die like other arabs of the Levant. I have toured the world but yet have to see a more miserable people than these ‘Mountain’ or Junieh Lebanese in eternal D
denial, Gibran Khalil would disown them.
You know all about what talking, it’s not an isolated stereotype some lebanese media (Lbc…) try to build about syrians. But they like the Zohan of course…
There are millions of things to laugh at, but just because you don’t find this humorous doesn’t mean that we’re assholes, just move on, there’s no need to get worked up about it. I don’t see how I’m getting on a high horse when I’m just saying that people shouldn’t take everything seriously.
Yo: The reason I compared it to bye bye london is because we spend half the time laughing at him trying to speak english, which is the same case here, laughing at this guys english.
Adrenaline: seriously, i mean seriously?
ali: My arabic is worse than this guys english and a lot of people find it funny and not because they’re racist or because I am Lebanese or anything of that sort but because my arabic is just that funny sometimes.
For people like Adrenaline who are turning this into a Lebanese vs Syria conflict get a life. Not everything has to be a war. Aren’t we over that already, aren’t the Syrian’s out of Lebanon and the whole conflict is behind us?
If the above CV said Lebanese, or Kuwaiti or Egyptian it would have still been as funny. I can imagine only if it said American or British it would have been even funnier.
wow. lol.
Seriously.
This isn’t funny cause it says “Syrian”, its funny because of what it says. I could care less about the politics of my country and its neighbors, not everything needs to be related to politics.
Seriously, how can you not find “English – 25%” funny?
THIS MY BROTHERS CV I AM FERY OVENDED @ BAD CUMMONTS FCUK U MARK CLOSE THIS KNOW OR I WHILL COMPLANE TO FAST TELECOMS TO CANCEL UR SITE 90%
It woulf be lovely If we were not judged by people according to our nationality. But in real world there are some sensibilities among neighbouring people that cannot be ignored.
To Crack a joke about ‘niggers’ you better be a black man, and while jews are allowed to make fun about fellow jews, a german doing that would be just crucified-
So when you write you are Lebanese, post such a cv (which actually would be funny if it just avoided to put a nationality label in this Joe Doe) and then even make sure to answer to your very first commenter who dare to say it’s a spoof “I think it’s real” then some suspects can be harboured by people like me who have witnessed several episodes of ‘lebanese’ racism against syrians in the recent years.
So, Mark, if you managed to bring up this hail of comments just because you actually knew nothing about recent lebanese-syrian problems and sensibilities, then I would advise you to be more informed about arab issues or just avoid them at all, and keep going with your excellent restaurant reviews, which btw i find really useful
thanks and no beef
you should see what i get
https://blog.rayboy.org/smallest-cvever/
If you are a kuwaitie who studied aboard and travels to london every year and your English is semi perfect….and making fun of this guy , you should know that they are making fun of YOU too : )
5aleji rakiebli jamal labes fos6an abiad o 7a6e6li e’elam eb jeboo ya3ni business men , ea *&#*&@ manzarak <<<<—- the same guys who are making fun of this poor guy , are saying those things about you …. ya KooKoo .
At least he has a CV đ
APhdholdingSyrian: I am up to date on the recent Lebanese Syrians problems but I don’t see how the military build up along the Syrian borders is related in any way to this CV.
Personally i find this funny!! There is high possibility this is fake…..But Mark having the most read blog in kuwait, i think it comes with a “little” responsibility. Ofcourse Family Guy/Simpsons makes fun of people stereotypes, but thats whats the shows are about really….making people laugh…if you don’t like it, you can choose not to tune in.
Otherwise, your Blog now is very close to being a very popular media source in kuwait, just like the newspapers and tv channels, you said it yourself in a previous blog entry that 248am.com is in the top 100 websites accessed from kuwait along with google and amazon, and that your blog was featured in books and magazines.
Its totally up to you ofcourse what you write in your blog, but i have a feeling that you will lose alot of your readers, by publishing entries like this..
Anyways as i said am from the people who find this funny with some reservations ofcourse on being published on a popular blog…
ohh crap.. im startign to feel bad now.. i see the intentions were just to get a laugh.. lighten up ppl.. lets not read too much into this…. his english is bad.. lol.. let it go.. nothing else there …dont read too much in between those lines ….
F4P: I highly doubt I am going to lose a lot of readers by publishing funny posts but I might lose the five people who found this post offensive but they shouldn’t be reading this blog in the first place so it really evens out for the better.
just wanted to point things out, on how certain people think……keep the entries coming in =D
Here are some more Engrish posts
https://248am.com/?s=engrish&x=0&y=0
crazy ,people get a life 25% lol …drama kids !
Mark,
as a Kuwaiti living in Canada for the past 8 years Ive come to respect your blog and website as THE only reliable website of its kind, that is up to date with whats “new”. Ive seen all sorts of funny video clips and great reviews. the website overall is an apparent success, and i commend you on your efforts.
This post however, is merely confirmation of your lack of decency as well as basic respect of ones privacy. You have not only lost my respect, but the respect of many of my peers who are regulars on your site. Its easy for Mr “My arabic is worse than this guys english” to laugh at this guys expensive, when he himself is Arabic. I would have expected such crude and immature humor from a 10th grade student at UAS but not someone of your stature.
Yes.. Yes.. i know, its funny! lighten up! . sure i would have gladly, but his full details are up, without an attempt at even censoring out his number or name. i find that to be pathetic.
I assure you most of your readers that follow your blogs here feel the same way, and along with myself they will no longer be regulars on your site.
Thank you for showing us your true colors Mark.
PS:
Not sure if this is true but..
I heard that when a thread on the forums appeared with your real name in it you freaked out and deleted it. I’m sure you didn’t feel comfortable with your personal information being spread like that.
Yes, if it’s a fake, then maybe it’s worth a bit of a giggle to some people. But the point here is that Mark posted this with the idea in mind that it is REAL (see his comment number 2). When you are pretty sure something is real, posting it with a name, phone number, and photo for everyone to mock and ridicule is unethical, obnoxious, and downright mean. And as many people here have mentioned, Mark, for a supposedly American-educated college graduate, your English is hardly something to boast about! This guy – and even if it’s fake, then all the other people out there with poor English skills trying to make an honest living – is obviously not from a privileged background that would allow him to receive the best education available that money could buy – which you did, so what’s your excuse? As a native English speaker, I often CRINGE at your grammar and spelling. And while we’re on the subject of your grammar Mark (you didn’t use it in this post but you often do, and it’s especially cringe-worthy): it’s “LET alone” not “YET alone.” There, got that off my chest!
Oh this is nothing dude. My spelling sucks and this is with a spell checker so you can only imagine how it is without! I used to have a big problem with then and than but luckily thats been fixed đ Will remember the let/yet thing the next time!
Just updated the image and censored the guys name and picture just in case it IS real.
wow finally, some decency. After getting bashed by your own blog, you finally get up and do what you should have done in the first place? not posting personal information? does it really take a wave of angered readers for there to be decency?
and you call yourself a professional?
Oh and the comments by James. Couldn’t agree anymore
So Mark your Arabic is terrible, your English spelling “sucks” and your an American graduate.. your inability to be truly fluent in ANY language (according to your responses) in my opinion shows that the true joke is on YOU.
that’s right “dude”.
I suggest those who find this post insulting or not funny to call the guy and hire him … mich 7aram ?? wou at least he tried ??
You guys r insulting him more by saying 7aram .. you are denying the fact that he s a total loser and a dumb ass ..
I just hope all those syrians on the borders are as smart as he is … we d get their cvs hire them as mercenaries and ask them to monitor the borders from our side and fight the Syrians ..
But For The Grace Of God, There Go You!
SHAME!
Disgraceful: Have you actually read any of the comments above? I think there were only 2 readers out of the 70 who actually highlighted the fact that this information might be real and I only realized it after Used2RespectThisBlod post.
lol @ Disgraceful.
funny.
Gents,
While I also find the joke distatestful, I believe that we should give Mark a break.
For someone who is clearly more interested in sharing creative topics with the rest of us, he certainly does not seek to publish controversial issues and has already clarified his position on the matter.
LOL!!! Hilarious !!!!!!
I dont think about humor as good or bad … its just humor .. gives a tickle in your belly and makes you think. With blogging, things have gotten so spontaneous, I dont think Mark would have looked so closely at the nationality. So ppl lets get a life … and let humor be humor.The point to take home is ” If you cant write English or Arabic .. Don’t try !!!”
Natives will take it as a joke and have a little laugh.
So Chill out everybody.
I’m laughing more at the “APhdholdingSyrian” username. Bet u walk around with the phd hanging around your neck in flava flav style and for fucks sake ppl, this blog being racist and disgraceful?? well maybe against certain shawerma places but come on, learn to laugh a little. a sense of humor does’nt hurt anybody.
lol i cant believe half the people didnt find it funny!
its EPIC i tell you.
Did it really take 80 something comments to ring a bell? Even though there might not be many comments explicitly suggesting TO YOU that this “c.v” might be real (this c.v actually belongs to someone who is looking for a job), I can hardly imagine this question didn’t cross your mind before posting it: Is this c.v real or not?
By the way, why is the guyâs telephone number still visible? If you were serious with your efforts, you would have censored the telephone number too âwhether this c.v is real or not real. Or do you need a specific mention of that too????
Truly disappointed, as this post has unveiled your unprofessional, irresponsible and shallow side.
@ Used2RespectThisBlod’s and @ Disgracefulâs : I fully support your comments.
Bittersweet: Thank you. Im glad someone agrees with what im saying.
PS: Disgraceful is (or shall i say was) a blog reader living in my city.
Been following Marks work since the Miskan project and not once did i take offense to anything hes posted.
Alea iacta est..
it’s actually good to see some people standing up for what they believe in, and in such strong responses but I think you guys made ur point (& I support it), so RELAX guys!
And it was a bit much talking about nationalities, that was too much reading into the post, it’s like u guys are paranoid and want to bring racism into the discussion for no appearent reason
Jesus Christ mark, you have some pretty cunty readers. No wonder u have to edit my posts so much.
Fuckin A. everybody’s Dr. Phil these days.
It’s just so pathetic to see how the so called literates and civilized people of our society try to mock people who’s trying to earn some bread for their families.
everyone needs to calm down, i got this as a forward weeks before mark even posted this online. this is clearly a joke cv.
Holla: Hopefully because of this post they stop coming back. I don’t need those kind of readers here.
If u ppl have a problem with the posts than dont come on this blog!
Mark, your post was irresponsible because you didn’t think to remove his personal details. It is all very well to say you don’t want us coming back to your blog but that is because you can’t quite admit you did the wrong thing to include all his personal details. Let’s hope no one decides to stick one of your texts on here with all its spelling mistakes just for a giggle – along with all your personal details – how funny would that be – NOT!!
Mark, i do wanna read your blog because i love it. I just think you got it wrong this time and should just pull the man’s CV or just get rid of his photo, name and tel no.
I didnt get anything wrong. I think this is one of the most hilarious Engrish posts i have ever posted and because five of you dont have a sense of humor doesn’t mean the post was a mistake, just means you five are deranged. As you can see from the comments above you guys have been ridiculed by other users. I think you should just stop coming here and instead go to boycottzohan.com or something.
Tried to call the number, it did not work its a wrong number I think. Code to Syria is +963. I tried +9630509… and +963509 I also looked up city codes of Syria and 05 is not an existing one.
Way to go Mark, with all ur stupid responses, I guess u wrote them when ur not in ur greatest mind.
You actually made this post even worse than it is by responding, I would guess if you kept quite, or at least gave a diplomatic answer it would have been better than just dismissing everyone’s responses, telling anyone that doesn’t agree with you not to come back to this blog. and here I thought blogs are open to discussion and other people’s opinions, not to dismiss the ones you don’t agree with
Don’t you know that what makes this blog great is the people that read it, Great unread reviews & posts are not that great, believe me!!
the guys just trying to make a life for himself, maybe he is so desprate.
i think the putting the cv is ok but not picture and tel thats not cool.
i mean if you wanna get laughs just read local signs in kuwait “taxi fo rint”
but the guy wants to work, unlike some people in kuwait. Bless him
“Itâs just so pathetic to see how the so called literates and civilized people of our society try to mock people whoâs trying to earn some bread for their families.”
I think this guy should win the Noble Peace prize.
I bet if the nashunatly said something like Mexican or Israeli, you guys wouldn’t give two shits, but just because it says “Syrian” you automatically assume there’s some political intentions behind this post. Fuck off, not everything is related to politics.
I agree with Mark, I really hope you guys don’t come back to this blog, because you’re totally ruining the fun of all this. I hope you guys lock yourselves up in your rooms without any television, internet, or any sort of free media, you’ll be fucking up everyone’s good time.
Mark, thanks for that response. It is clear you only associate yourself with those who have the same opinion as you. Your blog is only what the readers make it. Because we don’t share your humour – we are deranged? So anyone who doesn’t agree with you is deranged? Remember a few weeks back your wife didn’t like some trainers or something – she must be deranged too!? Clearly you are always right and heaven forbid the day someone disagrees with you. Let us hope this guy didn’t receive lots of rude phone calls taking the p**s. He really doesn’t deserve it – but hey as long as you got your little chuckle – that’s all that matters.
Patrick – what an exciting life you have to think that is ‘everyone’s good time’. You should get out more
Britchick:
Since you’re having so much trouble figuring this out for yourself. This cv is fake.
You know, just wanted to point that out to you, since obviously you’re having a hard time with figuring it out for yourself and you care SO much for this poor soul /sarcasm.
Patrick get out of Marks’ ass
Britchick:
Yeah I guess I should, but in the meantime, why don’t you laugh at something, I think Borat is on tv… oh wait nevermind. You don’t want to watch that, its funny!
Patrick this issue is not about Borat and u know it. I am not accusing mark of being a racist as i don’t know him but i think posting that CV was unfair to the guy because it included all his details. That’s not humour!
Britchick, its fake. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Seriously.
Look Patrick – there is a principle here. Mark posted that thinking it was real. Now i told you once… get out of that dark place!
A matter of principle? Woo! lol. Get a life Britchick. I’m outta here.
You know what, I think this is one of the most successful posts by measure of the comments you got on it. Keep it up, sometimes a bit controversy is what is needed these days. Take a look at Howard Stern, he doesn’t give a rats ass about others and that draws people in.
Britchick you know you contradicted yourself right? Its ok for you to come in here and tell me what I should post or not post but its not ok for me to tell you that I post what I want here and if you don’t like it don’t read my blog.
This is a personal blog and if I think something is funny and worth posting I do it. Just because this blog has become popular doesn’t mean I should start censoring myself or filtering out stuff which might be offensive to 2 people. This is also not the first time I post a funny post or an Engrish post but yet suddenly because I am Lebanese and this CV is for a Syrian it turns into an epic battle and race and politics suddenly get involved. Come on!
Mark funny you contradicted yourself by telling those of us who do not agree with you to keep off this site. That is censorship. I don’t think you should censor stuff but you shouldn’t write someone’s personal details on your blog. I know you wouldn’t like it. That is my issue. It seems you are finding it difficult to grasp that concept.
And Mark i read whatever i like – thanks very much. Just as you think it is ok to post what you like. Sounds like you are someone who is so wrapped up in hearing his own voice. You’re not worth it really. Wish you a good life and hope no one decides share your personal details with the world.
yeah I told you specifically to stop coming here if you don’t like what you read. thats not called censorship thats called enlightenment. you don’t like a magazine you dont buy it. you don’t like a blog you stop checking it. see how life works?
Just because I like to post what I want on my blog doesn’t mean I am someone who is wrapped up in hearing my own voice. It just means this is my blog and I post what I want like every other fucking blogger in the world. Thats what a blog is if you don’t believe me check here:

Ok that says it all. Now i understan. This blog is only for those who agree with Mark. If you are one of his cronies that listens to everything he says then you are welcome. Real sign of weakness, Mark.
Maybe you should put your personal details on here if you really think it is ok. What is your tel no? What about your DOB? Can we get a mug shot too? No … i thought as much but it is ok to do this about Wassim because he is a joke to you.
If you read what i said, i didn’t say i didn’t like your blog [quite the opposite until now that i have discovered we have to be your cronies]. I merely think your post was bad taste and you should retract the man’s personal details before you ridicule him. At the end of the day yes you can do what you like but we all have to be accountable for the things we do and say as adults. Ok, so maybe you are still in high school?
I think you don’t understand, let me see if I can make this clearer.
Say you bought a magazine, lets say FHM. You brought it home, you flipped through it and you didn’t like the articles what do you do? Do you:
a) Email FHM tell them their magazine sucks and that since you like cooking they should turn it to a cooking magazine
b) Next time you just don’t buy FHM and buy another magazine
Now what you did here is choose option (a) but you need to understand that its not up to you what I post or not post here and that I don’t have to make any changes to please you. The correct answer to the question above is (b). If you don’t like a magazine you don’t buy it the second time. Same goes with this blog, if you don’t like what you read just don’t read it again.
I really can’t explain it in any other way. I hope you now have a better idea of what my whole argument above is.
Also, just in case you missed out on the dozen or so posts above from other readers who were trying to explain this to you but the CV above turned out to be a fake. A FAKE. Do you know what that means? It means not real, as in made up.
I know a school that need a couple of teachers- if he has a pulse I’m sure they would employ him.
I just want to point out for the record that I am NOT the same Patrick commenting above. My only comment was #98 above. The Patrick posting without a link to his name is a different person.
Sunny (84) Iâm laughing more at the âAPhdholdingSyrianâ username. Bet u walk around with the phd hanging around your neck in flava flav style and for fucks sake ppl, this blog being racist and disgraceful?? well maybe against certain shawerma places but come on, learn to laugh a little. a sense of humor doesânt hurt anybody.
Is it so hard to understand that I chose that nickname to ‘make a point’: I would not dream of telling people what studies I did or boast that, that would be quite nerdish. But in this case it looked OK to me just to stress that you can’t generalize: while we all concede syrians are not the most fluent people on earth in English, we are not all that ignorant as some of us IF PROVOKED are ready to remind other people about it. And at least we still put an effort into preserving our beautiful arab language and are not accustomed to boast how our English or French got better than our ancestors language.
Sense of humour is a relative concept, maybe I may lack it. I guess syrians are still stuck to this stupid old-fashioned sense of honour while refusing to share our neighbours’ big sense of humour.
P.S. Braggers in my country would be smart enough to avoid to do that in shawarma places (I imagine the reaction: mashallah, a’andak pee ache deee kamaaan,, mabruuk khayyoo, sharraft al-hara! Zakkirni, khayyo, hiyye model abu 6 aw abu 8 cilinder?).
If in your place the learned guy brags in shawarma places, where do the guys showing off their sports car go, do they play loud hip hop music and tour the falafel stands? Now that’s a scene the Zohan movie guys should have considered!
WHY IS EVERYBODY SO SERIOUS?
Is this Dr.Phil/Oprah day or something?
You people are making my fucking cats cry.
;_;
and ill leave you guys with one note.
Teh internetz…..serious business.
Ok. This is my last post, your don’t stay to long when the owner of the place tells you to kindly get lost. I wrote enough and thanks for the debate, it’s always healthy to keeping our brains working.
Just before leaving I would like to give the floor to Mark’s own words.
Mark, I tried to belive you when you said how unbiased you feel towards syrian people and that it was just by chance that you got that fake CV file from the Lebanese Forces website. I thought maybe you were confused when you added that that syrian untermenschen stuff was true and credible.
To give you that chance I took the liberty of typing ‘syrians’ in the search engine of this blog to find a confirmation that syrians are for you like anybody else and politics does not enter in your humourous lifestyle blog.
I found the answer to my doubts, here it is. Mark, I hope you won’t censor it. Any answer is Ok to me, and BTW, you are not under process and I won’t obsess you and criticize you further.
Actually i think I already exceeded, but I want to make you understand that with big popularity comes some responsibility, which ryhmes with accountability. And also to remind you that blogs have long memories.
The following text was posted by Mark in October 2005.
“Top ten reasons why Syria didnât kill Hariri
10. Cell phones are too advanced for syrians to use
9. The instructions on the bomb manual were not written upside down
8. Abu Addas was busy hiding his suicide tape in a tree and forgot to drive the truck
7. Lahoud had the vibrating phone stuck up his @$$ and couldnât give the go ahead.
6. The Mourabitoun were too happy celebrating having been resurrected from syriaâs junkyard of non existent militias to remember what it was they were supposed to do.
5. Al A7bash were too busy celebrating the sale of 10 cell phone lines that they missed the boat too
4. Ghazi Kenaan was practicing shooting himself in the back accidentally threw himself out a window while tied to a chair. Luckily he had given an interview minutes before absolving syria.
3. Bashar said on tv that he didnât do it and thatâs not the kind of person he is. What more proof of innocence could anyone want?
2.Syria âDoesnât have that type of systemâ of assasinations, Kamal, Bachir, Renee, Hobeika, Dany, Sadr, Irani, Khaled, etc are all coincidences.
1. Everyone including Hassan Nassrallah, Berri, Iran, knows that the Mossad did it. Duhhhhh!! How silly can this Detlev beâŚ..phone recordsâŚwhat phone recordsâŚevidenceâŚ.what evidenceâŚâŚâŚThis statement is POLITICIZEDâŚ..we cannot accept it.

Mark: would n’t it have been easier to tell us: hey, I’m a free man, it’s my blog, I don’t pretend to be a swiss guy free of the ‘middle eastern’ disease of harbouring racist or political prejudices. I’m a proud Lebanese Maronite who has a clear cut sympathy for Kataeb and/or LF, i think they are good guys, and that their enemies are bad guys, because the helped the Syrians who invaded and occupied my country and did not leave us to keep living in love and harmony as we always used to do before those backward syrians woke up a day in 1976 and came to our place for no clear reason when we had spent the few months before their arrival really enjoying ourselves in our typical, very european, almost French, style. I can laugh at a movie blatantly portraying my beautiful country as a terrori.st shithole made by people who bombed it last time just 2 years ago, but won’t forgive the syrians. They their heavy accents and rude ways they remind me that we used to be an arab nation, for a while. Pity the Nation.
Adieu and, out of my sarcasm, keep going with the blog, which really IS good and one of the best about Kuwait
Please take your anti-syria conspiracy with you on the way out. This post was a fucking harmless joke if you didn’t see that then you missed out. If you want to copy paste what I’ve previously written about Syria (oh what a surprise it was another humorous post) you should do it properly. Here are two other links where I talk about Syria:
https://248am.com/mark/food/bakdash-ice-cream/
https://248am.com/mark/information/how-was-syria/
Kinda destroys your conspiracy theory that I am anti-syrian doesn’t it?
You know what.. I dont even find that funny! The poor guy is looking for work and we’re all laughing at his spelling? English is not his first language I’ve seen some large signs outside of stores with spelling that is just shocking!
I just don’t see the humour in it.
@ Mark: I really can’t believe what I’m reading! Are you summoning those who didn’t appreciate your oh so great sense of humour not to visit your blog any longer? Am I the only one who is shocked to read this? So, Instead of showing some common sense and admitting posting this c.v was fully wrong, you summon those who have other opinions not to visit your blog anymore? This is truly the behaviour of a spoiled little child, which is not willing to admit his faults. I find that very very immature to be honest.
I remember a while ago, in your blog there was a request of a guy who was interested in a position in Marketing. He asked you whether your company has any vacant positions and you answered him to send you his c.v. I wonder where that poor guyâs c.v, including his personal detail, have ended.
please don’t put words in my mouth. Of course I don’t have a problem with people who have different opinions than mine. Is this your first time here because if you’ve been here for more than a week you would know that. What I do have a problem with is people who come in here and dictate to me what I can or can’t post and expect me to cater to them like a Mcdonalds employee.
Secondly if you actually read the post you would know that this guy didn’t email me his cv, it’s been circulating the Internet via forwards.
Anyway I am locking this post up because I am really really tired of repeating myself over and over to people like u who don’t bother reading and just post stupidly.
