What does resistance smell like? (Hat tip: Israellycool.)

A new perfume carrying the “scent of resistance” and celebrating Hizbullah’s “divine victory” has been released on the market in Lebanon, according to a report which appeared in the Lebanese Daily Star last week.

“If you’ve ever wondered what resistance smells like, then try a dab of ‘Resistance Perfume,’ which comes ‘exclusively’ with a political message and a picture of Hizbullah’s secretary general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah,” the Daily Star article said.

“Apparently, the scent of resistance is a strong and musky one that comes with a single pledge – ‘a truthful’ one,” the report added.

A slogan on the perfume box, quoting Nasrallah during a wartime speech made over the summer reads: “You are the truthful promise … and I have great faith in you and I promise you divine victory.”

 Frank says:

There were 45 men in the jail cell, the toilet and shower had never been cleaned, the temperature was 110 degrees so you couldn't sleep night or day, there were roaches in the oatmeal, sadistic guards, and everything that was nice. -- Zappa 1969 interview. This had happened during the days of Studio Z in Cucamonga (1963). Frank was released on bail (his father took out a bank loan to pay for it). Frank had been busted for "conspiracy to commit pornography," after making a silly recording of suggestive sexual sounds (giggling edited out) for someone who had asked him to provide a "special" tape recording for a stag night. That someone turned out to be Detective Willis of the San Bernadino Vice Squad. Their conversation was recorded by a hidden microphone and this was used as evidence at Zappa's trial.
