Emaar bans 7Days in Emirates Hills, AR.
WTF? 
It seems 7Days have upset the powers that be and Emaar have actually banned them from being distributed.

Never before have I witnessed such a bunch of tossers fighting online. Jesus, some of the weird and disturbed views are interesting...

Don't know how I'll cope without reading 7 Days letters over breakfast.
The nearest thing I can find to Viz in Dubai.

I read some of that, Autonomy. Like you said, there are some strange views around. Keefie's blog is spot on for me, mind.

I wonder whether this was a roundabout reaction by them?
PS Which UK media group owns a percentage of 7days?

Weirdly, the day after the "Russian bitch school" article row the 7Days newspaper rack disappeared from our building. But it was back two days later.
This/Russia/Khalifa interview is the most bizarre media row in my time here. Most media people are convinced it's a conspiracy, whipped up by a certian Amphibious media group that shall otherwise remain nameless.
