I didn't watch this episode, but several bloggers have already posted it (Blogging Beirut, Blogbaladi, Lebanon Aggregator, How I See Things and +961), and I think everyone should watch this one.

What are the odds that this video going viral actually starts a healthy and productive debate about the conditions of migrant workers in Lebanon, starting with how they are treated at the airport, how their passports are confiscated, up to and including their work conditions in the household ?

Can you please advertise this? No one should do business with this piece of garbage!
It's a big, big shame to see how migrants, specially housekeepers are treated in this country... The video is repulsive, I felt deeply disgusted...
One of the men in the video has been publicly identified in a tweet by LBC: https://twitter.com/#!/LBC_Group/status/178174523223449600.
