Alcoblog Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Just seen an ad for the Sunday Times on telly. They're giving away a DVD about some bloke walking a tightrope between the Twin Towers. Am I reading too much into this or could it be that the bloke is Rupert Murdoch and the Twin Towers represent not only the new phone hacking allegations (about victims of 9/11) but also the very tenuous line Mr Murdoch is now treading? Do you think someones done this as a joke? I know it's his own paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie (Man On Wire) is one of the most acclaimed documentaries made and I recommend watching it if you get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 As Mercenary says, it's a stunning documentary, don't miss it. I wouldn't read anything more into it - these promotions are planned months in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
