Worst. Advertisement. Ever.[edit]

This is the worst-written advertisement I've encountered in years of lurking on Wikipedia. And I've seen a few. Here are some heavily-offending parts of the article:

"OSN is the leading pay TV network in the Middle East and North Africa and is the ultimate destination for the widest choice of brand new premium Western, Arabic and Filipino entertainment."

"OSN is the home of 100 channels filled with great value entertainment, offering viewers in the MENA region exclusive access to the latest blockbuster movies, top rated series, sports, documentaries, news, kid’s entertainment, and live talk shows. The movie offering includes over a 100 movie premieres a month uncut and uninterrupted so viewers can watch movies the way they were meant to be watched."

"As the leader in innovation, OSN has changed the TV viewing experience in the region and brings viewers quality entertainment through 28 High Definition channels and currently is the only network offering a full HD bouquet of channels as well as 3D entertainment in the region. OSN was the first to launch the DVR, the OSN Showbox HD, the regions first online TV platform, OSN Play and the region’s first VOD service, OSN On Demand offering viewers the opportunity to watch over 1000 movies and over 52 latest seasons of the top series over the year in full HD quality and Dolby Digital sound."

The references and external links are equally poor. The references are both owned by OSN; they are both part of the company's official website. The external links consist of the official website, a direct link to the page where you can buy their product for no informative reason whatsoever, a request to like them on Facebook, their YouTube channel, and a request to follow them om Twitter. The people who performed most of these edits, of course, were using the account MaysaraOSN. This looks like a violation of a lot of rules here. This is the most stereotypical case of an employee writing a heavily-biased, unsourced advertisement about the company I've ever seen. --Windowolf (talk) 20:51, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
