Yunus, Yunus, and more Yunus.....

So as many of you know, hopefully, Mr. Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize for devising the micrcredit concept. It is now widely used in several countries and has been hailed as a key step towards poverty reduction in the world (for better or for worse, thats for you to decide...)

Anyhow, the reason I mention this is b/c ever since the guy won the prize the papers have been plastered with various companies from Citibank to airline companies taking out large ads to congratulate the guy. Check out this picture, the day it was announced. Every story on the front page of the paper was about Yunus....Click on the Daily Star link on the left to read more about it.
