Can comedy in Lebanon compete with that?
Good comedy can cause a policy change, and did, in the case of a climate policy debate in the Australian legislature (via TED talk by Chris Bliss).
Do you think we have Lebanese comedians who can compete with that? :) Can our comedians take on politics and open people's eyes to crucial issues, which will put politicians under pressure to do their job?

Dalida, from a time when Arabic wasn't "evil"
For those who didn't know her, Dalida is an Egyptian-Italian signer who sang in many languages including French and Arabic, lived in France, and was a makor influence on French culture!
Back then, 1980's, you didn't get arrested at US airports for having class notes in Arabic. Imagine multilingual Dalida going through airport security today. Speaks 8 languages? She must be "unpatriotic".

Ending corruption in Lebanon, some documents demonstrating the facts
The documents linked to below are in Arabic, please comment below if you'd like to help translate them
Fact 1: Legally, seniority is required but does not guarantee promotion in public offices
Fact 2: Three court audits (in a first, second, and third part) of the Lebanese treasury department demonstrates fraud.
Fact 3: The law proposal to upgrade the public energy sector in Lebanon is financially sound, and inexplicably stalled by the prime minister.
Fact 4: The treasury is not properly accountable.
Fact 5: profiteers in government have exploited the cell phone network in Lebanon
In support of ending corruption, sheikh Mahid Hamoud prays in a mosq, in support of Gen. Aoun, the lead in ending corruption in Lebanon. A regressive American reporter would ignore all these facts and just call "Christian" leader.
