Gas Ration Coupons Being Traded for Celebrity Gossip

In the alleys near Azadi Square, a new barter trend is emerging: fuel coupons in exchange for juicy celebrity news. �If you know who Parastou is dating, I�ll give you 3 liters,� said one man guarding a barrel. Teenagers are printing tabloid sheets for trade, some made up, some oddly accurate. �I told him Golshifteh moved to Canada and he gave me enough petrol for two provinces,� one girl bragged. Analysts are calling it �gossip-backed liquidity.� Fuel traders now employ pop culture analysts. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
