“Kreditny Krisis” on the Front Page of the Financial Times. That Must Mean Something.

RUSSIA! gives you the list of interesting opportunities to learn some Russian by reading the newspapers:

A Viral Marketing Thing We Feel Dirty About Spreading

There’s nothing like a well-made fake. And conspiracy theory blog MIR-12 is nothing like a well-made fake. Granted, the production values for the site, part of the viral campaign for an upcoming video game called Singularity, are very high. But that’s just the problem. If real conspiracy theorists had made it, the homepage logo wouldn’t be nearly as slick, nor would the conspiracy, which involves a Chernobyl-type accident at a top-secret Russian weapons facility, be so involved. Then again, the fact that we’re sitting here writing about the stupid thing probably means the advertisers are getting exactly the response they want.
