This Facebook page decided to satirize the media's Taimur obsession

As I was scrolling through my Facebook News Feed as I usually do, I spotted something unusual indeed accompanying the picture of a marshmallow based embodiment of a human offspring. The name of the page was Pictures of Taimur Ali Khan To Distract You From Real Issues, and I was hooked.

The Indian press and media’s most recent obsession with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s kid, future Karan Johar launch project the obviously cute Taimur Ali Khan has been a persistent pet peeve for many of us. Well, instead of the way we usually just roll our eyes, one Facebook page is venting it out through satire on, Pictures of Taimur Ali Khan To Distract You From Real Issues.

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few years, you may have noticed that journalism in India has been going through an ebb. The cleavage-spotting, propaganda dispensing, political faction choosing, screaming and debating, left/right leaning media that has severely digressed from the neutral reporting that they are supposed to do.

Social Ketchup reached out to the Admin of the Facebook page, Pictures of Taimur Ali Khan To Distract You From Real Issues for a comment, and they had this to say,

Well, the people or person behind Pictures of Taimur Ali Khan To Distract You From Real Issues appear to have had enough with tabloids and news channels shoving Bollywood kids in our faces and is using social media to make us all chuckle.

The Admin further added, "So I decided to satirise the way our news organisations work and what better to way to get people reading than by these cute images."

This hilarious passive aggressive statement has only just begun, and I have high hopes that this page, although might eventually fade out, but will accomplish bigger things. If things continue to unfold in our great country as they have, and Taimur Ali Khan continues to be a human marshmallow, well, there is scope for some excellent satire.

I do have to agree that the name is quite a mouthful but that hasn’t stopped the page from achieving a slow and steady snowballing effect.

The Page currently sits at roughly a 1000 Likes, but given the content they have to offer, I wouldn't be surprised if that number balloons upto a few thousands by the end of this week.
