Egyptian citizens collectively gasped yesterday when it was revealed that the newspaper Al-Ahram may be biased. "Not only that," says EKT's Senior Media Analyst, "it may actually be pro-government."
The state-owned paper first came under suspicion when a 12 year old prodigy from Tanta realised that the daily pictures of Hosni Mubarak on its front page showed the president had not aged over the past 29 years.

A controversial study conducted by the DUC (Dokora University in Cairo) has revealed that Egypt’s underground gay community suffers from homophobia. The study has also confirmed that, despite government figures, there may be more than 15 homosexuals in Egypt, and even more outside of prisons. However, lead researcher Mido Libeedo said that due to strong cultural conditioning, even gays in Egypt...
"FOUR ...[TAKH!]... TIMES ...[TAKH!]... FOUR ...[TAKH!]... EEKWAL ...[TAKH!]... SIXTEEN ...!!"
