2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Official pictures of the new redesigned Lexus LX are out and no surprise here, its UGLY. It looks pretty close to the Land Cruiser spy shots that were posted online previously. [Link]

Found this old Abenderado commercial while flipping through YouTube. Anyone who watched any TV in Kuwait pre-1990 will surely remember this. If anyone can find me the old Hungry Bunny or Pizza Italia commercials I would be very grateful!

I posted about this song before, here is the actual video clip:

Some guys called Justice & Kaos created a parody of the song “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley and called it “Kuwaiti”.

I was flipping through YouTube looking for a certain commercial when I by mistake found this video clip. Its a trailer for a documentary about Kuwait and some of the places they recommend tourists to see are Canary Restaurant, some electronics store and Taxi Al Resala! [YouTube]

The documentary turned out was done by 3 Angels Power Film Production here in Kuwait so I decided to google them to find out more about them. I found their website and.. its interesting. Make sure you let their page load and then check out all their sections. [Link]

Emily Sharpe, a reader of the blog sent in a link to the following video which was shot by her during the swearing in of new Kuwaiti Minister of Education, Nouriya Al-Subeeh during the Parliamentary session. The session was disrupted by Islamist MPs who objected to the fact that she refused to wear the hijab (headscarf), which she does not normally wear.

A user in the forum posted a link to this video of a girl belly dancing at the public beach near the Kuwait Towers. Nothing too controversial but still, its always fun to watch. [Video]

Thanks bu50

Some people really take this game toooo seriously. There is a strategy guide and even an online trainer on their website! [Link]

The Rasterbator creates huge images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into an extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size. [Link]

Does anyone else find this new Burgan Bank ad cheesy? It also reminds me of the Subway “Kaifi” campaign that were released last year. I tried to find a copy of those Subway ads but I couldn’t.

There is a new blog called Kuwait Health in which the writers are trying to promote health care reform in Kuwait. Anyone who has experienced public hospitals in Kuwait will appreciate what these guys are trying to do. You can check out their blog by visiting q8health.org

Here is a site with links to all the local newspapers in Kuwait (Arabic and English) and also some magazines. [Link]

The Daily Star is not listed there probably because their site just recently came online.

A cool campaign by Adidas:
Ad 1
Ad 2
Ad 3

And here is something similar done by Pepsi on April Fools back in 2000. [Link]

I don’t think newspapers should participate in April Fools. It’s just lame. Newspapers are supposed to be a source of truth not hoaxes. If you don’t know what I am talking about check the main page of the Kuwait Times. They have an article saying that alcohol is now legal in Kuwait. Its very easy for newspapers to pass a hoax as truth because people trust newspapers. They are taking advantage of this trust, I didn’t fall for it but how many people out there today will? [Link]

The trailer for 28 Weeks Later is now online. 28 Weeks Later is the sequel to the movie 28 Days Later. Judging by the trailer it looks like the sequel is mostly going to involve a kid, I don’t know how I feel about that. [Link]
