The Times of India (TOI), the leading print advertiser in India has published two lines of news on its front page today. This has caused a nationwide confusion and uproar among people, who have been wondering what could have been so important that these two lines could not have waited till the second page.

TOI which much earlier used to publish news on its front page, started experimenting with bottom-half ads, right half ads, left half ads, fake front pages, before doing away with the goddamn news altogether.

After that there have been several innovations such as “Where’s the News Today” where people had to spot a news bit on the front page commercials and SMS it to a shortcode to win a supplement of “advertorials” for a month.

“We thought we will do a full 24-page advertising paper. And our outsourced news vendors will supply us with a few pamphlets of news that we will slip into our paper. It was a brilliant idea,” a TOI official said.

TOI is also considering renaming itself to TOI-Love-Entertainment-Trivia Paper. The Top management is still debating abbreviating it.

Maybe they are just reconfirming what a lot of us had thought over the years, that Pooja Bhatt is a guy.
