Lebanese warlords have finally gotten around to watching Hala2 Lawein, and decided they need to completely change the way they behave.<\/p>\n

On the night of October 8, 2014, a sleepover was being held at a prominent member of parliaments\u2019 house, with Lebanon\u2019s finest in attendance. After playing a drinking game for hours, the attendees decided to unwind by watching Nadine Labaki\u2019s movie, “Hala2 Lawein?” The movie tells the story of a village plagued by sectarian tensions. The women of the village decide to overcome the situation by date-raping their husbands. <\/p>\n

The members of parliament present at the sleepover were flabbergasted by the emotional state of the nation and so moved that they have decided to cut the shit. Four of them have already given away all their money to impoverished villages around the country. And by all, we mean some. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt came as such a shock,\u201d said Walid Jumblatt. \u201cAre we really that bad? I thought it was all cool.\u201d Jumblatt was taken aback by the scenes blaming politicians for the sectarian divide, citing that he normally blamed the people and their negligent behavior. \u201cWe can split the blame 50-50 I guess,\u201d added Jumblatt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the scene that really did it for me is when that kid died; that\u2019s just plain uncool and I\u2019m a cool guy,\u201d said Minister Sleiman Frangieh, who was very young during the civil war but has since filled out his familial obligations of political patriarchy, adding that he\u2019s not going to miss having so many political obligations since he has \u201ca million things he\u2019d rather be doing.\u201d <\/p>\n

While some officials at the sleepover called the movie \u201cexaggerated\u201d and \u201csilly,\u201d others were so taken aback that they couldn\u2019t be reached for comment. They had no idea that people had actually died in Lebanon, or anywhere in the world. In fact, one warlord in particular had to be told that people can\u2019t just get on their private jets and fly away during war because most people don\u2019t have a private jet. <\/p>\n
