5 things I love about Humsafar Fans
1. Spending less time hogging the internet. My router sucks, and I’m too lazy to get it changed. The net slows down with each additional user online 2. How they talk and bitch about a fictional character instead of doing what they used to do i.e. talk and bitch about real people who have an [...]

Girls should desire men like Zardari
Why are the girls of my nation becoming infatuated with a man from Gujranwala for breaking a rowing record? He is not having any sponsor money from Pepsi, big car or big house like all men should.

Gilani brags about his length

Dawn News Blogger Thinks Mansoor Ijaz Cares
Yet another blogger for yet another major news publishing house has written yet another blog in the ‘open letter’ format, a format that implies that the writer has the balls to take all the heat (come what may) as a direct result of his/her publicly declared opinion.

PPP Jo Killo, Khairpur Zillo – (Fort of PPP is Khairpur District)

Imran Khan outed as Free Mason, Gun Sales Surge for Unknown Reasons
Pakistan is totally an awesome place for conspiracy theories. The latest one suggests Imran Khan is a Free Mason. This implies that the remaining front runners for the election are not Free Masons.

2011: Proof that Pakistani’s are Evolved Beings
You know, Pakistani’s get a really bad rap for being superficial and stupid. That’s so mean. We get accused on desiring external beauty over internal beauty.

Who Dares Block Bakeri Biscuits Ads?

Branding Pakistan, “Which Country Can Do More For Your Peace?”
Is this how they are branding Pakistan? An injured ‘Peace Facilitator’? Do they even advise for viewer discretion for such advertisements?

Haleeb Outdoor Blunder on Eid Day
You must have seen many advertising blunders, but this one is a classic. Haleeb’s outdoor on Eid near Karsaz in Karachi, was upside down.
