...have seen the future, and it is represented by a multicolored "M" logo. No, I'm not thinking of the red-and-yellow kind they stick on sixty-foot poles by the side of highways. The might of McDonalds is small fries compared to the potential of Morpheus...

"I simply hope the Weekend will not give up," says a typical comment on the paper's website. Without even dying, the paper is gaining a legendary status...
