Regardless of how creatively or bizarrely street posters and headlines are worded, we would hope and trust that they are true and preferably highly relevant. And this is what led me to question today's paper...
On the top half of the broadsheet (as in the part intended to catch your eye) is a picture of Mehdi Ouazzani. This is an actor that plays the Devil in The History Channel's new series "The Bible". He is covered in copious amounts of make-up (think Twilight) and dressed as the Grim Reaper. Sounds legit, right?
Next to this ultimate portrayal of darkness, is a picture of a semi-scowling Barack Obama - the Pope of America himself - having their physical similarities compared. Ouch.
On first view of my primary source of world knowledge, I somehow doubted that this was the world's biggest problem for the day. Yes - many conspiracy theorists may be waiting for the ol' prez to drag their world (comprising solely of the USA) into death's pit, but for those who didn't flip the page straight away rolled their eyes questionably and realised the ridiculously desperate measures the paper went to to sell more units. Maybe. I cant really work it out.
So how uncanny is this really? A simple image search resulted in how there are actually a whole bunch of people who resemble the prince of the underworld... as well as "The Devil".
Here is a picture similar to the paper's comparison:
And here are a couple of other guys who could fit the mold:
And if they had to make a movie about Barack suing the world media over this - there is even someone to audition for the role:
And if this doesn't interest you, maybe the article with the headline announcing that 'drinking and driving kills' should have you hooked.
