I called a friend of mine in Paris and asked her to get me a copy - TopicsExpress



          

I called a friend of mine in Paris and asked her to get me a copy of the new issue of Charlie Hebdo, which came out this morning. She told me that people were queuing up at bookstores and newsstands an hour before they opened, and that all copies -- all 3,000,000 of them -- were sold out in minutes. I hope more copies will be printed in the coming days so I can keep one for posterity. While the Paris terrorist attack continues to dominate headlines in Europe, it has long passed the news cycle in Hong Kong. The reverse happened with the Umbrella Revolution: Western media were all over the movement during the first week or so, but interest quickly waned as the story dragged on. Such is the way of the world. #JeSuisCharlie #CharlieHebdo #UmbrellaMovement #OccupyCentral
