The guys behind EKT, or El Koshary Today are doing a fantastic job! They’re hilarious!

If you don’t know what that is, it’s the egyptian version of The Onion; offcourse, if you don’t know what The Onion is, apart from being that thing you eat with “Feseekh” on sham el nessim, then you’re a hopeless case : )

Check them out here: http://www.elkoshary.com/el-kemala/cairos-metro-line-3-ahead-schedule

Chapeau for the guys working on it; i hope they continue with the frequent updates as they currently do and i hope they won’t evolve into something shitty and lame like Teet Radio did.

Al Ahram faking news?

1 comment

Is it just me, or did anyone else noticed that Al Ahram newspaper is forging news?

I was reading today’s paper(Friday – 9 Nov 2007) and on the first page, there is this header saying:
“Police looking for fake doctor”  “البحث عن طبيب مزيف”

in the details it said that someone was faking to be a doctor, and performed an operation on some girl which caused her a severe bleeding and stuff, the guy’s name is “Hamdy Kamal” “حمدى كمال” in the area of “Aboul Ela – Bahteem” “عزبة أبو العلا – بهتيم” (remember this name)

Then, on a different page inside the newspaper (the accidents page ….comes the same news story (i guess it’s written by someone else).

Stating the same thing, except that the guy was CAUGHT!!!! wow!! the police must be working really good now… they were just looking for him 4 pages ago!!!!!!

And now the guy’s name is: “Hamdy Kamal Aboul Ela Kassab” in “Shubra el Kheima”
Ok, so after the police caught him (after 11 pages of pursuit!! :P ) he changed his name to include the area that was mentioned on the news on first page? thats sweet!!

I really don’t object forging new, that’s is part of the daily routine in any worthless governmental, two faced, hypocrite newspaper…and Al Ahram has always been like that, all am asking for is to just respect our simple minds, don’t put contradicting news, that’s a simple rule if you want me to believe you.

جريدة الأهرام عدد الجمعة 9 نوفمبر 2007, ناشرين خبرين متناقضين…الأول فى الصفحة الأولى بيقول انهم بيدوروا على طبيب مزيف أجرى عملية ختان لبنت عندها 23 سنة…اسم الطبيب  “حمدى كمال” من منطقة “عزبة أبو العلا – بهتيم” وبعد كدة, فى صفحة الحوادث ص12
كاتبين نفس الموضوع, لكن المرة دى الراجل اتقيبض عليه )والله البوليس بقى يسريع أوى اليومين دول….مسكوا الراجل فى مسافة 11 صفحة.

لاء و أيه, الراجل دلوقتى بقى اسمه  “حمدى كمال أبو العلا كساب” لحق غير اسمه و زود عليه اسم المكان.

أنا والله مش طالب كتير….يعنى لا سمح الله مش بقول للأهرام تبطل فبركة, وتدليس على الحكومة و أخبار بايتة و قديمة.

أنا كل اللى طالبة منهم أنهم يفركوا ماشى….بس بلاش يستخفوا بعقلنا….وبلاش كمان أخبار متعارضة
