So I read the little announcement on the front of the Herald today which proclaimed the Weekender section will now be printed on Saturdays instead of Fridays.

Bravo, f**ksticks! Now I have approximately 5 minutes to plan my weekends! Goddam f**king retards. I quit.

if you're relying on the Korea Herald to tell you what to do at the weekend...

(yeah I really have no end to that sentence, but it's a crap newspaper!)

It's, 'the newspaper that doesn't even try'.

Lot of the entertainment weeklies in North America come out on Thursday to give people one extra day to plan their weekend. Yeah, what a bonehead move.

I have noticed the quality of this paper, (if I can even say that?) has really gone down hill when compared to (can I even say compare) the times. Both papers suck donky dick, but the times seems to be trying to suck a lot less donky dick, where as the herald goes for it. I have no idea what the herald is trying to do. It is part joke, part government stooger, part we pull the wool over your eyes, right? don't we? kind of paper.

I have been reading the on-line edition for a long time. But this morning I deleted it from favourites as it now comes complete with a load of garbage pop-ups and a terrible thing called my-linker that puts a full screen advert on at random times and which can only be closed by pressing the link.

Jeeeeeez

Considering that last week's Weekener was about a kids activity in CHICAGO,....does it really matter if it comes out on Saturday or not?

Sounds like fun Smile

Some of my most enjoyable weekends were decided Saturday morning over a hot cup of morning beverage.

I dream of opening a non-crappy newspaper in Korea that'll tell it like it is. Oh well, I can dream.
