Spoiling the feast

Akher Saa was one of the greatest and major magazine publications in Egypt whether in the time of monarchy or time of republic except of course the time of President Mubarak. There is no doubt that this magazine could have been like the time magazine if it were not for nationalization and governmental control. I am proud to say that my late grandfather had spent decades of his life in that publication since 1950s till 1970s and I was happy that this magazine is celebrating its 75 anniversary since its founding on the hands of Mohamed El-Tabai whom I believe is not resting currently in his tomb for what happened to his magazine in the golden era of Mubarak.
I am sure the man God bless his soul is not resting in his soul to know that in the 75 anniversary special edition there is a whole two pages bought by notorious princess Hend El-Fa'asy speaking about how much her daddy loved the magazine with photos of her infamous scandalous offspring all over the the two pages !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is she exactly to write about Akher Saa ?? Already I doubt that she wrote this by herself !!
From all the celebs in Egypt I found El-Fa'asy !!! Is not it enough that Safwat El-Sherif wrote an editorial in the beginning of  the edition. It is an irony I suppose because in 1968 the magazine published the conviction of Safwat Al-Sherif in the intelligence scandal with complete details of the trial !!!!!!!!!!! What you know !!??
Back to the magazine , I think the 75th anniversary special edition could have been better , a proper celebration for such important magazine could be launching an official website not that poor one following Akhber Al Youm "even poorer" with complete online archive like the time magazine.
