Gulf Times is at it again
Nov. 28th, 2005 10:30 amOne of my most surprisingly commented-on posts was my Note to Qatari journalists, in which I pointed out that anything headlined Burger King offers "Family Meal" is not actually news.
Apparently they didn't listen: New offering from McDonald’s.
The Peninsula, on the other hand, has this tear-jerker: Road accident claims Qatari youth. Can you imagine anything sadder? It sounds like an Egyptian soap opera.
The Peninsula also had this interesting article on Arab media: Expert questions US motive in advocating democracy in Syria. Any idea what "Michael Jacksonising the Arab youths" means? Is he referring to rumors that Michael Jackson is converting to Islam? Because that's not what I think of when I think of Michael Jackson and youth. I don't think I want Arab youths to be Michael Jacksonised.
In more personal news, I now have all 1054 pictures of our Jordan trip on my laptop. (No, I'm wrong; there are about six dozen underwater camera pictures out there somewhere.) As you can imagine, it will take a while to sort through them, label them and post them.
