Oh, Wall Street Journal, how I abhor you.
Go ahead, Rupert Murdoch. Buy the Wall Street Journal. It’s not like it gets any worse than this.
(I particularly like how the author repeatedly points out how “unsafe” Morocco is and cites the Casablanca suicide bombers as example, when they didn’t actually kill or injure anyone but themselves)

I know. It’s so scary there. (ahhhh). Seriously, we are women and walk around by ourselves without feeling unsafe - OK you live there - so maybe that doesn’t count as much. The biggest concern my boyfriend has about me being alone is guys hitting on me, not someone stealing my wallet. Let’s see, Morocco is warm, the people are friendly, they speak any language you need (it seems), there’s cool and interesting architecture and history, cheap flights (from Europe), great markets, etc. Gee, I think it’s the danger drawing people into Morocco. Crap, London’s been under more attacks recently and it’s not the danger that makes people want to back there.

That’s the stupidest article EV-AR. I can’t believe I lost 6 minutes of my life READING that … I nearly died laughing when they wrote about the “daily threat” of people blowing themselves up.
Yeah, kay, it happens and then suddenly EVERY DAY IS TERRORISM DAY IN MOROCCO. Whatever.
When I was in Morocco, everyone wore bomb belts!

[…] The Marocco Report äußert sich wie folgt: Mach schon, Rupert Murdoch, kauf das Wall Street Journal! Noch schlechter kann es ja nicht mehr werden. (Mir persönlich gefällt es, wie der Autor wiederholt betont Marokko sei „unsicher“ - und dann als Beispiel die Selbstmordattentäter aus Casablanca aufführt, die niemanden getötet oder verletzt haben, außer sich selbst.)

FYI - this WSJ article answers my question (I could have guess shelf space) about why the Hanut’s sell packets of shampoo. If you want I can send to you. EMERGING AMBITIONS
