Express problem resolved over lunch

KARACHI:  A displeased hacker vented his anger with Express News TV by hacking the channel's Facebook and making some pages and features unusable earlier this week.

 

The channel's IT and Interactive Departments at Karachi Centre worked hard at trying to get the problem fixed but it proved to be a bit beyond their capabilities. They were stumped.

 

Desperate times call for desperate measures so the head of Express' Interactive Department suggested that communication be made with the hacker. The hacker obliged after being pinged a couple of times.

 

"Look why don't we resolve our differences over lunch," suggested the head of the Interactive Department.

 

The hacker agreed. It was also agreed that lunch would be a pizza at Pizza Hut, the hacker's favorite food and favorite franchise.

 

The tact seems to have worked as after a while the hacker gave into the reasoning and pleading of the enterprising head of the Interactive Department. "The matter was resolved after reaching mutual consensus," he announced jubilantly.

 

Just goes to prove there's no doubt that a man's heart is through his stomach!
