In a classic case of ‘REDRUM’ fever meets end of the year YOLO, the devilish schemer behind the Sunday Telegraph‘s puzzle section sneaked the phrase “Murdoch Is Evil” into the children’s find-a-word puzzle in last Sunday’s paper; the paper owned by Rupert Murdoch’s own media group News Corp..
The Sydney Morning Herald
reported that “eagle-eyed readers of last weekend’s newspaper” had
noticed “an unusual assemblage of letters” in the puzzle –
“LIVESIHCODRUM” – and made the subsequent discovery of the subliminal anti-Murdoch Easter egg.
The Sunday Telegraph hasn’t commented on the hidden reversgram, and there’s been no word yet as to what will become of the rogue puzzle master responsible
for the deed, however this is more than likely a cry for help from a
disenfranchised journalist and we hope they find whatever it is they are
looking for.
