Depressed? How About A Brand New Bosom?

A Lebanese bank thinks it knows exactly what Lebanese women need

You got a country with two large political group clamping at each other’s throat, both furiously accusing each other of causing economic mayhem and financial collapse. Meanwhile, a bank comes out of the blues thinking it can make money out of helping women (and men) pump their lips.

After pitying the 64 year olds who can’t benefit from such a wonderful opportunity, you start scratching your head wondering whether it all makes sense. But hey, the world is never short of people who want to explain things to you. Here are my favorite explanations:
 
1- Alarabiya: People are too tired from politics and too depressed, so they want to forget about it all by feeling better about themselves. This is why they “embellish their noses, grow their boobs, tighten their tummies and enlarge their cheeks and lips”
 
2- Dr. Nabil Sader, the president of the Lebanese Association of Cosmetic Surgeons to the Daily Star:

“People are not going out anymore so they are staying home looking in the mirror, […] since they’re not spending their money at night they come to get work done [..] plastic surgery here is competitively priced and meets the highest standards.
 
Of course, many Lebanese take this news with a hint of pride: We hedonists never die. Unfortunately, this is just one side of the coin. A fifteen year study concluded that women with breast implants are much more likely to commit suicide.
 
Maybe a suicide loan can come next and this will turn out to be nothing but laying the grounds? now THAT will be lucrative.
