Pakistan has a very unique way of analysing (and digesting) news scandals - humour. We have a great sense of humour, and while most of the time we hit the sweet spot, there are many times that we go way off tangent.

When the Axact fiasco broke on local media, social media started giggling behind closed doors. But by the next morning social media was in fits of uncontrollable mirth. Here is what the hullabaloo was all about:

Got stuck in traffic at Khayaban-e-Ittehad. Ended up with a double degree from Columbia and Barkeley. #Axact

I think they are guilty but the problem is my degree in criminology is from #Axact so I could be wrong.
