How low will they go?

This is the front page of today's Times of Oman.

front page

This is not a "fake" front page. There's no other front page behind it. You turn the page and you're in the local section.

I can't believe they've stooped so low. They sold their front page!

Hahaha, today, on Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad, the whole first fold was a Burger King advert- Think first page, last page, second page, and second from last.

Mabrouk, a trashy version of capitalism has come to roost.

Break out the confetti.

@roba: I wouldnt mind that, if only we had a Burger King in muscat? The worst thing is, where I love the burger king is overpriced and doesnt even taste good.

About the topic, it reminds me of an ad i saw in The Week once for the Echo (i think it was the week,maybe it was shatti cinema): ''Be Unique, Stand Out From The Crowd...Get An Echo!''



If anyone believes that....lol
