They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To

You can tell that we're truly living in sad times, when this is considered to be Lebanon's finest specimen of the age-old species called "Drug Lord."

Drug lord Noah Zaayter checks his mobile phone as he makes a tour in the village of Knaysseh in the Bekaa valley, in July. The 37-year-old is one of about 50 drug barons who operate with near total impunity in the northern Bekaa, a lawless region controlled mainly by Hezbollah and for years synonymous with drug trafficking and militancy.

He really doesn't look like the sharpest knife in the drawer, does he?

AFP transmits this wire photo accompanying this story from today. Could it be that someone at Agence France-Presse is looking to score some of that sweet, sweet ganja with this "amazing" scoop? And if so, does that really give me an excuse to re-post that classic video?

You betcha!

For those who don't remember this old gag, here's our crack AFP staff hot in action:

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*sounds like it is time to do some serious phone tracking.

One could make an argument that the telecom company is making money off of drug trafficking.

But, then I am speaking to the wind. Israel and the US has no guts to do anything to protect itself these days.
