Super-market

mmm from today's seven days

"7DAYS would like to point out that the four-page "Daily Planet" supplement carried in yesterday'’s paper was an advert for the release of the new movie "‘Superman Returns". Superman has not really been spotted flying down Sheikh Zayed Road nor has he been seen swooping over Luxor in Egypt. 7DAYS would like to thank those readers who thought otherwise for their concerned telephone calls."

The Weasel would love to think this was true but has to cynically believe that it's probably just an extension to the media run the day before.....if so it does raise some ethical issues especially for a paper that does claim to tell the truth.

(and they left out Beirut....)

But then again, this is a country where a fair number of people believe putting thousands of Dollars into a box and shaking some bones over it will cause their money to double, even funnier there are those who really believed that borrowing vast sums of cash to speculate on a hugely inflated stock market was a good investment, so maybe, just maybe, it's true.
