Fake Lebo – Mt. Lebanon’s Own “The Onion”

There are a lot of heavy topics being discussed in town right now. Somebody apparently is trying to look at the lighter side of Mt. Lebanon by launching a web site and Twitter feed called “Fake Lebo.” I received a notification a few days ago that “Fake Lebo” was following our Twitter feed for this site, so I decided to check it out.

I must admit, as a Mt. Lebanon native and long time resident, that there are some funny things being posted by this anonymous person (or persons) – especially those that reference the mythical founder of Mt. Lebanon, Colonel Thaddeus Lebanon III.

As you read some of the postings about our beloved “bubble” remember the following quote from Elsa Maxwell – “Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.”

"No One Ever Leaves Mt. Lebanon"

Spotted at the brand-new Lebo-based blog "Suburbia Calling" ("After a decade of city living, I've moved back home to the suburbs to raise my daughter. So how does a SMBC, liberal, secular humanist, bereaved mom, full-time mom to a living child, and full-time professional handle coming back home to suburbia?"), this YouTube-based submission to the Mt. Lebanon HS Film Festival.

Mt. Lebanon high school students face a common choice: deal with alien attackers, or break down for the first time and leave the Lebo bubble! Reality? Or satire?
