Someone Hid a 'Murdoch Is Evil' Message in the Kids' Crossword at Murdoch's Own Paper

Someone is sooooo fired today.

Seems that a wiseass at the Sunday Telegraph decided to convey his or her feelings about publisher/employer/supervillain Rupert Murdoch by hiding a “Murdoch is evil” message in the kids’ crossword puzzle at the back of the paper and spelling it backwards to avoid getting caught.

We’re a little surprised that a detail-oriented snoop with a fondness for kids’ wordplay found the message, but then some 70’s genius was brilliant enough to play “Stairway to Heaven” backwards, too.
