Meet the Joe Isuzu of Lebanon: Zayn al-Athat (for those unfamiliar with American culture Isuzu was a lying spokesperson who appeared in Japanese cars ads).
Zayn al-Athat is marketing a collection of his miracle cream on Lebanese infomercials that he claims are a cure-all for anything a woman may have or need.
For instance, one natural herbal product - or so he claims - will lead to hair growth if rubbed on the head, cure your hemorrhoids, and it will similarly lead to breast enhancement if rubbed on..., well, you get the picture. And I really mean that he states that these creams will do anything. One time a woman caller asked if he had any creams to enlarge checks (a la Nancy Ajram), and he replied that just to use his breast enhancing cream and rob it on the checks for it will have the same effect.
And forget about Red Bull. He sells a shampoo that will give you energy and another that will...make you fall asleep. Question: isn't it dangerous to sleep in the shower?
And let's not forget the pills. Now to be fair, al-Athat is not the pioneer in offering absurd weight-loss pills. American drug makers have been promising much the same for years. But al-Athat makes such spectacular claims that even some American infomercials may shy away from fearing a law suit. al-Athat's miracle cream will lead to 20lbs weight loss without exercise or diet because it magically erodes not only the fat and your appetite, but also shrinks your stomach. And to think there are people out there getting stomach-stapling surgery for thousands when they could spend a fraction of that for the same effect!
This guy is so outrageous that the Lebanese government has actually tired to shut him down, but political interests have stepped in on behalf of al-Athat. One of his business partners is Randa Birri, wife of the Lebanese Speaker of Parliament Nabih Birri and he has sought to it that the Lebanese will have to continue to listen to this buffoon. Have not the people of Lebanon suffered enough?
