"The Calcutta Times is an important publishing phenomenon because it proves that neither good journalism nor even a basic command of the language (in this case, English) is required to increase sales. It is now the instrument of a "media in society" study that will inter alia study how many people across consumer categories will pay to see their own names in print, as well as how many people will pay for their names to be seen in print by other people.
Some Netizens have also proposed that the Calcutta Times be linked to the OED web-site as an example of antithesis in the dialectical sense, i.e., a vivid example of how English should NOT be written"

I think you are being a li'l too subtle in "too good to be true" JAP. It's goddamned Awesome. The accuracy of the description is just amazing. Since u r sitting in kolkata, y don't u just give a (ahem)ghost call to TCT and ask someone to at least read the Wikipedia, please? And oh, Kudos for discovering it! Who else but u, can come up with such gems?

It was more like "invent". modest simper
