Indian Media Bash Blog

Indian Express is definitely one of the better newspapers we have in the market today. However, I hate their online edition.

I click on links to open up their sections and I end up getting popup ads. They have some terrible linking partners, which I have already discussed here in the past.

Ads are crammed up so badly that you are surprised that their print edition is so sober and clean.

In fact, today we had a news item in the Express on a soccer-based videogame in relation to the upcoming Fifa World Cup.

The article mentioned that the legal original version of the game costs around 1400 bucks but if you want a bargain, visit palika bazaar in Delhi to get it for dirt cheap price of Rs. 100.

They even interviewed one of the guys from the palika market asking how good was the response to soccer based videogames considering the hype surrounding the upcoming soccer world cup.

Now, how insane is that?
